That's a great idea... ...if you want to live in 2006 Iraq. Given the degree to which the country is polarized on so many issues, you'd wind up with 50-50 neighbor-on-neighbor violence involving two evenly matched sides. You wouldn't get Bull Run or Gettysburg, you'd get Watts. In every city and every community in this country. In a situation like that there is no real winner; the losers get wiped out but the winners inherit a bloody mess that nobody in their right mind would want to have to put back together. Let's not do anything too hasty, shall we?
sounds dandy to me
Dandy, huh? Hardly. If you stopped trying to piss people off long enough to slow down and think about the implications of what you're saying here you'd be laughing out the other side of your mouth. Even when you have defined geographical entities with tradtional armies, war (especially civil war) is quite an ugly and destructive business. Now strip away the defined nature of two armies going at it and just have every man for himself running around with guns and knives and all-kinds of what-have-you. There's precedent for that... Iraq, Sudan, and Somalia, just to name a few. Now if you're crazy enough that you actually want to live that way I'd be more than happy to hand you a set of BDUs and an M16 and drop you off in Mogadishu. If you think you're going to do that to my country, however, you've got another think coming.
I know, That's what I said, I agree with you, I posted earlier with what I thought illustrated a Bosnia type situation as I felt it was more applicable.
Oh, OK. I didn't see your comment below and I'm sorry if I came off a bit too sharp; I've had enough experiences with trying to make a serious point and having a random troll drop in a one-liner that I saw the length of your comment and I jumped to conclusions.
hmm, I don't know if civil war would really be as effective as it has been in the past. Just think of the combatants, Pro-Government Loyalists, okay, and people who want to oust the crooks in power? so then it comes down to war, and it turns out, we are both evenly distributed throughout the country. well shit, its just door to door violence as groups of either affiliation murder people based on their point of view. and of course the military would be forced to intercede, bot if whole states are in open rebellion it could get even uglier. no, seems like what we need is some honest thoughts concerning effecting a government revitalization and an open votes for politicions regardless of pre-existing political zoning.
Hey Calvin you just smoked some pot. What are you going to do now?
I'm gonna take a shit.
