War is not a blood fued

[Seatbeltnazi]

This is sort of a response to a post in my(ORIGIONAL) WW3 topic. They stated that Japan, America, Britan, Germany, and i think one other country, would all be allied if and when WW3 happens. War is horrible. But war should not be a blood fued. Take WW2 for example. On december 7th(i think) on the annivarsary of pearl harbor, both japanese and americans alike met at the memorial and shook hands, gave hugs and talked with eachother about the event of the bombing of pearl harbor. THEY DIDNT TRY TO KILL EACHOTHER THE MOMENT THEY SAW EACHOTHER!War should be something that 20 years later you and your enemy can sit down and have a beer with. Not any of this extremeist shit. What would make someone chop off an american's fucking head just over a belief?!(im not looking for an answer, nor a comment on that last sentence). I mean the things people do these days is total bullshit. I doubt america(or anyother country for that matter) will be able to sit down and talk with their former enemy about the past war in 20 years. WTF GOES THROUGH THESE PEOPLE'S DAMN HEADS?! RAPE ROOMS, TESTICLE ELECTROCUTION, GAS CHAIMBERS?! WTF MAN, WTF?!

Comments anyone?

you have my kind of thinking!

My thinking too! I think the fact that America and Japan could do this is an example to the rest of us. War is bad, but should it happen so should this. Point well made.

Don't worry. We'll be able to do this with Iraqis as well. Mostly because the ones that we're fighting will be brought up on war crimes and the only ones that will be left will be the ones that publicly like America or privately hate us. The fact is that, when you destroy a country's infrastructure/economy, you get rid of the bad people in power by charging them with war crimes and sending them to prison or death. Whichever. And then, all you have left are the people who don't give a damn.

well, in the case of Bush's head, nothing goes through that thing. anyway, your right, you should be able to shake hands with your enemy in 20 years, or even earlier. i mean, war is for what's going on in the present, not whats going to happen.

America has never treated war like a blood feud. Think about it, Britain is our ally, Japan is our ally, and Russia is view generally positively now(not really allies though)

Russia? Positively? It's ruled by an ex-KGB autocrat who rules like a dictator. Then again, they do have the Baku region. Oil...*drool*. But seriously-America, Israel and other US allies don't view war as a blood feud. It's politics by other means. I forgot who said that, may have been Von Clausewitz, but I'm not sure. Anyway, think about Thomas Friedman's golden arches theory. Nations that have recieved McDonalds are sufficiently globalized. No nation, since it has recieved a McDonalds, has gone to war with another nation that has McDonalds. That means that there'll be no Sino-American conflict and stuff of that nature since we're so interdependent. Weird, but makes logical sense.

So, all in all, war is politics by guns (and missiles, and artillery and grenades etc.)

This probably won't happen with many Iraqis. Remember, in Japan and Germany, there was an educated class, infastructure and a willingness to improve. In Iraq, the educated class has mostly fled, the infastructure's been destroyed by the Iraqis themselves and there's a substantial amount of people who don't want to improve. This won't happen for at least 50 plus years. The reunion of the Americans and Japanese involved in Pearl Harbor could, conceivably, taken place 20 years after. We were all patched up because everyone came to a consensus that the attack was bad. When the Iraqis realize that the insurgency is bad and WORK ACTIVELY to improve their condition and we wait a couple of yeears, then, and only then, will we work together.

They are on friendly terms with Russia? This is far from the truth. The whole cold war kind of set that back a bit.

The agreement to disarm nukes? America has far more, and it is just weaking Russia so that another situation such as that does not occur. It isnt an act of friendliness. There are more examples of what people think of as friendly actions, but they are not. They all have underlying motives. Politics is very rarely if not never to be taken at face value.
