DO YOU AGREE WITH DICK CHENEY'S VISION OF ENDLESS WAR? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Wed Mar 14, 07 - Mon Dec 07, 09 Dick Cheney's warped vision of the world In his speech to the AIPAC (a powerful pro-Israel lobbying organization) convention yesterday, Dick Cheney laid out his thirst for literally endless war -- and his equally intense aversion to war-avoidance -- as unabashedly as can be. The towering question which America faces is whether it wants to continue to embrace this bloodthirsty and truly crazed vision, or whether we want to repudiate it fundamentally. This is what lies at the core of Cheney's world view: An enemy that operates in the shadows and views the entire world as a battlefield is not one we can fight with strategies used in other wars. An enemy with fantasies of martyrdom is not going to sit down at a table for negotiations. Nor can we fight to a standoff -- (applause). Nor can we fight to a standoff, hoping that some form of containment or deterrence will protect our people. The only option for our security and survival is to go on the offensive, facing the threat directly, patiently and systematically, until the enemy is destroyed. (Applause.) Cheney, of course, is not merely speaking there about Al Qaeda, but about the whole range of Evil Enemies against whom we must seek merciless and final destruction, including those about whom his audience cares most -- Iran, Syria, the Palestinians, Hezbollah and Hamas. * * * * * * * * Do you agree with Dick Cheney, that from now on, the United States must be in a state of perpetual war, with many enemies at the same time, and that war is the only answer to any of these conflicts?
