Power, as in, using or threatening aggression?

Have you heard of the French Revolution, Jardine?

What's that supposed to mean?

By saying 'power to the people' do you support using or threatening aggression, or not?

If so, how are you any morally different from the warmongers?

There is no War on Terror. There is only a War for Oil manifesting as a War on Islam. And that has been the case since at least the end of WWII.
In the current century, this war for resources ramped up to its current level shortly after those hapless dupes were allowed to fly their hi-jacked airliners into the Twin Towers in one of history's greatest black-flag operations. Those more truly responsible danced on the rooftops in New Jersey as they watched the mini-nukes they had planted take those buildings down.
This has gone on and on for over a decade now. ISIL is merely the latest in along list of patsies.
But it's not ending there, not by a long shot. Obama has just declared a War on Ebola. To show how earnest he is, he has deployed some 3,000 troops to West Africa - not doctors, mind, but troops - where, surprise, vast untouched fields of hydrocarbons are waiting the drill bit, and where China is very much in presence.
The entirety of the manufactured War on Terror is, as our own Joh Bjelke-Petersen used to say, feeding the chooks.

JKJ, You have forced dullard David G into a corner, and obliged him to nail his (Tri) colors to the wall.
And in just three short exchanges!
It's a bit like watching a chess master wipe out an very junior juvenile opponent, and in just three moves!
An erudite Buddha quoting man of peace, so he claims, wants us to just but out of the M.E., where Isil, [the inmates running the asylum,] are just cutthroat criminals committing mass genocide, and worse!
We should just but out, he claims, and remain at peace; as one might actually expect and respect from a genuine conscientious objector!
But then obliquely/slyly suggests, we should follow the example of the French revolution, one of the bloodiest chapters in French history; and just to remove our own legitimate, democratically elected Government!
Expect him to get very personal and borderline abusive, now that you've exposed the real, I believe, bloodthirsty, power lusting, patent Isil sympathizer, David G, for the whole world to see!
Cheers, Rhrosty.

Rhosty,

You're correct...they are a "...legitimate, democratically elected Government!..."

Elected on a bed of lies...a wholesale duping of the electorate....

What kind of damage have they done to "democracy" in this county?
