A US political discussion....

[Aramike]

Regarding political suicide - maybe - but I won't change a stance just because its politically uncomfortable.

This is scary. Not that you're seemingly unafraid of being politically uncomfortable but, rather that you're unwilling to change a position when confronted with facts and information that illustrates your position as untenable.

Stubborness is not a good quality in a leader.

You state that Undersea;s position which is opposite yours is "appeasement". There are, in fact, many other alternative positions that don't involve destroying cities due to the behaviors of extremists.

Pax Romani eh? Sorry man but I think that the war, alone or with something else, has turned you into into a homegrown version of those we fight.

I would rather see my beloved country cast into the fires of revolution and secession than to see it turned into the abomination it would become under your presidency. Think about that.

Good post, August. I agree with you 100%.
