Naddy,
I don't think you digressed, at least not very much if at all. If
America is reduced to an impotent mess exactly how do you think this will
affect the world the Extropians are hoping to build. When Europe is second
in the list of people to be reduced to impotence where will the Extropian
world be then.
Or could you possibly mean that Sadaam and Osama will now turn into
lambs and peaceably lie down together to chew their cuds? If so I can't see
how you could possibly come to that conclusion.
My interpretation, and this is surely no surprise, of your attitude is
that you do see a threat to we Americans and you are quite willing to
sacrifice America to your short term safety. But me and many other Americans
will not stand still to allow your vision for our future to come to pass.
For that you pull out your curse, "Nationalists."
When I say the time for talking is over I mean only that it is time
for you to recognise that we not going to be destroyed by the likes of
Sadaam/Osama without exerting ourselves to the fullest. Nor or we going to
be endlessly sidetracked into an impotent debate by Europeans that privately
hate us and wish to see us fall -- like you.
You called our position "incrediably distorted." I see yours as
incrediably cold and self serving. You want to see our citizenry killed, you
want to see us threatened by further injury and you want to see us stand
quietly until we are hurt again. And, for what purpose, so someone you
resent can get his just deserts.
