Poll question: The use of military force is justified...
   
Curious about our collective ideas on this concept.

Personally, I guess I would choose "rarely". For example, I guess a stronger show of force in Rwanda could have limited number of people who died there.

Almost without exception, I feel it should be the result of a multi-national effort, but that is not always a guarantee that the motivation for the use of force is true.

I thought I would make a poll here on this too so we can contrast. Though we already know the outcome.

Seriously? What the **** do the douchebaggers think is going to happen when it comes down to protecting their homes and families? G.I Joe and the useless U.N are not coming to save them.

For a country as big and as powerful as the United States, the entire world can be a free-fire zone. Luckily for the rest of the world, we are a Christian nation. Sometimes DUmmies have a hard time understanding all that.

I want to change my vote to everything.  Don't know wtf I was thinking...

I'll have to disagree with this. We are NOT a christian nation... any more. We may have been founded on many Judeo-Christian prinicples, but we are far from a Christian nation now.

The problem with all other options is that it should be all other reasonable and honorable options.  Negotiating a deal is not the same thing as meekly allowing yourself to be ran over.  I suspect the primitives would rather be run over before they would believe the use of force justified.

Are jooooossss a subset of everything? If not, I'd like to change my vote.

I'm beginning to get the idea that we should be more like the Romans. Kick everyone's ass and ask questions later! It's obvious to everyone except DemonRats that being Mr. NiceGuy ain't workin'.

I said "The JOOOOOOOS!" just because I'm a smartass.  But, the more that I see things in this world today, AR's assessment is becoming better and better.  Kill 'em all, and let God sort 'em out.

I'm beginning to think he's all we got, left!

ETA (The American people have brought this on themselves. I actually believed the "PEOPLE" would never, ever, elect a community organizer/socialist to office. I still do not understand how he pulled the wool over so many' eyes. Well I guess I do, since the MSM is still feeding them with the same "change and hope" BS!)
