I think what he meant to say was that World War I was a major cause of World War II in Europe, as well as the Palestine/Israel conflicts, and to a lesser degree many other Middle Eastern wars. And World War II led to the Cold War, which led to US support for Third World dictators, which led to intense hatred of the United States in many countries, and the Cold War also led to the Taliban and everything that resulted from that. So basically, World War I led to most major wars in the time since.

Seriously, lol. That was a hilariously retarded comment. Let's throw out all IR Theory and use Gravel's theory. So basically all war started from a fist fight between two neanderthals. lol

I took back what I said about voting for McCain a long time ago if you had bothered to look. Forgive me for not immediately supporting Barr. This is the guy who said in 1999 that if the Ten Commandments had been posted in Columbine High School that the massacre there wouldn't have taken place. Being a committed atheist, I don't easily forgive Congressmen from the Bible Belt who want the Ten Commandments posted everywhere. However, I have reason to believe that Barr has changed ... enough.

DoctorQuirk, the way to strengthen the Lib party is to vote for it now, and this will accomplish 2 things:1) If everybody who believed Lib were to vote Lib, then whichever jerkoff who gets elected will be forced to take the concerns of the Lib party more seriously.2) If people see the Lib party increase in size, then in the next election they will realize that it is possible for a 3rd party to muscle its way up and they will be more inclined to vote for it because they see that it has promise.

What does Libertarian fiscal ideology have to do with sick children, ruined airlines and public transit? If people would discuss ideas instead of just turning red, pointing fingers, and screaming names at each other maybe we could actually come to some sort of reasonable resolution on issues.

The two party system have had their chance time and again, but they blew it, the Country is broken, so this time I'm going to vote a new party - Bob Barr.

Because Obama would totally ruin our economy. By the way, I'm sorry I encouraged people to vote for McCain. My fear of an Obama America got the best of me. I decided to support Bob Barr after a.) reading Matt Welch's essay in the April? 2007 issue of Reason (available on their website) and seeing Bob Barr's "Time For Liberty" video. My excuse is that I work in New Orleans where liberals have had their way for decades and I have a good feeling that Obama would turn the U.S. into New Orleans.
