If he was just pulling my leg, he wouldn't actually be supporting the decision to go to war

Anyone who wants to forcibly spread democracy is not a true supporter of democracy.

Are you serious? It is a proven FACT that Germany declared war on the US, b/c,
a) they believed in their interests
b) they hoped the Japanese would reciprocate by attacking the USSR.

Any true peace/freedom loving American would be appalled and thoroughly embarrassed by your statements. People like you are the cause of America's image problem.

USAPatriot, you are not a conservative, you are way further right than conservative, you would be what they call a reactionary, possibly a fascist.
WOW, the scary thing is that you are serious.

You don't have to be a warmonger to be a conservative. There are many conservatives who oppose and have opposed the Iraq War.

That is one of the worst things I've ever heard. I;d hate to sound anything like Aso, but that's the sort of thing Hitler would have said.

Japan does not want to be Western, Western is a cultural term, the Japanese are Asian. Though Japan's relation to Asia could be compared in many ways to Great Britain's relationship to Europe. In that, the two are similar in many ways, yet still different and independent of one another.

First of all, i'm from Texas, in other words conservative. Second and more importantly, war is NEVER morally justified.

I'd like to know where those statistics came from. Anyway, Western and enlightened are not synonymous as you seek to imply. The West and Japan, though better than most still have a long way to go.

That's nowhere near the amount of WMD's that the White House implied Iraq had in its arsenal.
"In 2006 Fox News reported the claims of two Republican lawmakers that WMDs had been found in Iraq,[37] based upon unclassified portions of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center. Quoting from the report Senator Rick Santorum said "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent". Many news agencies, including Fox News, reported the conclusions of the CIA that, based upon the investigation of the Iraq Survey Group, WMDs have yet to be found in Iraq"

Anyway, Japan lacks Western "attributes" such as torture (Abu Ghraib), war, and support for undemocratic regimes. Clearly, the West is vastly superior.

What weapons of mass-destruction? Saddam Hussein deliberately acted vague about the WMD's as a way of deterring arch-rival Iran from any aggressive moves as well as the belief that the Americans would never invade even if their were WMDs. In other words there were never any WMDs.

I think the report exaggerates French involvement.
So Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, and the killing of civilians never happened...right...

That's the slogan that forced us into the WAR in Iraq. "If you don't support us your anti-american, etc."

Is this true? Not too long ago I saw a show on the History Channel showing Tokyo's state-of-the-art flood control systems (like the G-cans). Maybe they exaggerated the system's capabilities, but it seemed like it would work.
