Russia and America must jointly confront Islamic State : Comments

By David Singer, published 21/9/2015

American and Russian distrust of the other's possible motives in Syria were successfully put aside when they co-operated to have all chemical weapons in Syria held by Assad and his opponents destroyed.

Joe, every hammer sees nails everywhere and, compulsively, the hammer wants to smash them into something, doesn't really matter what.

This is how warmongers see the world.

Of course, hammers aren't very bright and neither are warmongers!

There's no hope for David G.

He's one of those appeasement, peace in out time, GC types.

Hi David,

It's a pity that you can't see the difference between a war of aggression such as, let's say, Saddam's invasion or Kuwait, or Putin's invasion of Georgia, Crimea or the Ukraine - and a war to defend the people of Syria and Iraq from ISIS fascists. Wars of aggression must be condemned totally, you're right there, but a war to defend ordinary, innocent people must be waged - surely - with every force that we can muster ?

Can you understand that wars of aggression must be opposed, but wars to defend innocent people must be supported ? Until they are liberated ? Can you grasp the difference ? Or do we have to go back to primary school level and explain the difference between right and wrong ?

When people are attacked, they are entitled to defend themselves. When Australia was attacked in 1942, we were entitled to defend ourselves - isn't that so ? I'm sorry if that might involve nasty things like guns and bombs, but unfortunately that's how wars go.

Joe

Hi Joe

There is no helping David G
As he relies on ideological simplicity

Views of the green-red sort
With reflection nought

Brains like a Chocolate Wheaton
Behold the Gibbering Cretin

10,000 years of war have achieved nothing but death and destruction yet Planter and Loudmouth want more war. "Kill, kill, kill," they cry. "Bomb, bomb, bomb."

And when our world is destroyed in a nuclear firestorm and resembles the Moon, I wonder what they'll say then.

Probably, "Kill, kill, kill, bomb, bomb, bomb!"

Morons!
