      Has anyone noticed that the whole Russia-Ukraine thing has now been virtually dropped in the media? Anyone else more than bothered by this?

        We have a much more scary thing to worry about about...terrorists! We don't need to concern ourselves with the massive country with ICBMs. The media is a joke.

              I think Gore Vidal said it best...

              "This is an eternal war against terrorism. It’s like a war against dandruff. There’s no such thing as a war against terrorism. It’s idiotic. These are slogans. These are lies. It’s advertising, which is the only art form we ever invented and developed. But our media has collapsed. They’ve questioned no one... Nobody is going to write a story that says this is not a war, only Congress can declare war. And you can only have a war with another country. You can’t have a war with bad temper or a war against paranoids. Nothing makes any sense, and the people are getting very confused. The people are not stupid, but they are totally misinformed."

                Except he missed the point completely. This is an ideological war much like the Cold War, except this time the Soviets are beheading western citizens.

                If anything, this is uncharted territory. I do know that if we are to defeat this enemy, victory looks a lot different than in wars past.

                  The first problem is calling it a war.

                  The second problem is comparing it to the Cold War.

                  The third problem is people perpetuating this stupid line of thinking.

                              You were speaking about ideologies and extremism right? After all things are said and done our right vs. their right have striking parallels. Do you really not see that in a thread about Iraq?

                              btw, you have my old cirrus. hope you get her running again.

                                I don't get where I implied that the two go hand in hand.

                                How do you know this is your car?
