And as true today as 500 years ago as Goebbels must have ripped that off Machiavelli:Originally Posted by sirhamish
“People are fickle by nature; and it is a simple to convince them of something but difficult to hold them in that conviction; and, therefore, affairs should be managed in such a way that when they no longer believe, they can be made to believe by force.”
If that’s what being anti-war means then yes I must want the Taliban to remain and Saddam to still be in power. I certainly don’t miss those regimes but I regret how they were overthrown. If I could turn back the clock and could stop the wars then I guess they would still be in power. There are odious regimes throughout the world, if the west wants to be world policemen and champion of democracy then they can do so indiscriminately and not just pick on the countries they don’t like. Top of my list would be Zimbabwe, China and Israel.Originally Posted by liam88
And as for Irish support for Hamas... what a small impoverished citizen army fighting against an evil and wealthy occupying regime and without international assistance, I wonder why the Irish would support that?
