Does Bush doctrine " you are for us or aginst us" violate " all men are created equal" doctrine?

Question

Doesn't it constrain and constrict the possibility of peaceful negotiations? People or nations are not allowed to be neutral? Who decides that?

Answer 1

What is a peaceful negotiation?

Name me one? one time is history their was a peaceful negotiation BEFORE someone lost or was losing a war.

Peace is only achieved through victory.

Answer 2

It looks as if Yahoo Answers has created a market for Zionist and US Government propagandists. It also appears that they are understaffed for the number of questions they have to answer, because they usually only do "drive-by shooting" one-line-and-no-brain zingers and then scoot off to the next question.

What the Bush doctrine "you are for us or against us" does is suppress dissent to government policies. The Soviet Union used to do this also, even to the point of putting dissidents such as Alexandr Solzhenitsyn into prison. Governments who engage in evil adventures usually decide that they cannot afford to tolerate dissent at home, and that's why policies like George Bush's policy are created.

If there is to be no distinction made between terrorists and those who harbor terrorists, then every Jew in Israel is fair game for attack because Israel harbors the most vicious terrorists in the middle east.

If there is "no possibility of a 'peaceful negotiation' with people who support terrorism," then there is no possibility of peaceful negotiation with any Zionist Jew, anywhere, because Israel is a terrorist state that commits more terrorist atrocities than any other group in the middle east.

The reason the US Government backs Israel and not the Arabs is that the Jews control the media and the financial system of the United States. There is no real moral basis for the position that George Bush has taken. But Bush knows that the Jews can destroy him and make him look like another Hitler, so Bush dances to the music that the Jews decide to play.

Answer 3

All men are created equal has standing only within that and those covered by the United States Constitution. That is, the citizens of the United States. As individuals we may (or may not) believe this applies to other peoples, but from a legal perspective it has nothing to do with others from outside of the United States.

The federal government created in the Constitution of the United States is bound by its chains to defend that constitution and the people that live under it. The United States and its people have been attacked in the most cowardly ways, not once but, a number of times. It is the Constitutional responsibility of the federal government to make sure that such doesn’t occur again by doing whatever is necessary. If that includes negotiation, then that is the method to be used. If negotiation isn’t viable (as in the present case) then increasingly stronger methods must be used. The phrase, “all men created equal” doesn’t apply here for the previous reason stated, but in a more fundamental context it doesn’t apply because the enemy we have doesn’t believe in negotiation or that all men are created equal. Rather, they believe you become their follower or you die. That makes the decision of the United States as to what to do, rather straight forward.

Answer 4

It doesn't have anything to do with all men being equal, but it does interfere with peaceful negotiations.

It's hard for diplomats to do their work when the leader of one of the negotiating countries keeps making antagonistic comments and making lists of 'evil' countries.

Answer 5

I think he said, "We make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor terrorists" If you give safe haven to terrorists, allow them to set up training camps within your country, then you are supporting terrorism and will be treated like a terrorist."

There's no possibility of a "peaceful negotiation" with people who support terrorism.

Answer 6

It's a classic example of the polarization that this Administration has given to this nation.

Answer 7

No...I think it's a smart policy, not just for our country, but as individuals as well.

Even those who claim to be neutral aren't and we always always always need to look out for our best interests.

Answer 8

Why not ask some of the thousands who have died to protect your right to freedoms; like free speech?

Answer 9

HUH? Are you a blonde????

Answer 10
