>I am convinced that if we could tell the supernatural story of Christ word for word as of a Chinese hero, call him the Son of Heaven instead of the Son of God, and trace his rayed nimbus in the gold tread of Chinese embroideries or the gold lacquer of Chinese pottery, instead of in the gold leaf of our own old Catholic paintings, there would be a unanimous testimony to the spiritual purity of the story. We should hear nothing then of the injustice of substitution or the illogicality of atonement, of the superstitious exaggeration of the burden of sin or the impossible insolence of an invasion of the laws of nature. We should admire the chivalry of the Chinese conception of a god who fell from the sky to fight the dragons and save the wicked from being devoured by their own fault and folly. We should admire the subtlety of the Chinese view of life, which perceives that all human imperfection is in very truth a crying imperfection.

"The most dreadful butchers were the most sincere. The believed in the perfect society reached through the guillotine and the firing squad. Nobody questioned their right to murder since they were murdering for an altruistic purpose. It was accepted that man must be sacrificed for other men. Actors change, but the course of the tragedy remains the same. A humanitarian who starts with the declarations of love for mankind and ends with a sea of blood. It goes on and will go on so long as men believe that an action is good if it is unselfish."

Psalms 103: 15-16
The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.

Ecclesiastes
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

This is not about a war being "just" or "unjust," you can make your own judgments there. The actual laws are indisputable. A war of aggression (waged without Security Council authorization, no less) is patently illegal.

Regardless of legality, it was a fucking moronic idea to topple a major regional power and send the region into chaos. Everyone with a brain saw ISIS, or at least something of its kind, coming, and we can draw a straight and rather short line between the invasion of Iraq and the rise of ISIS.

>Do you literally believe there can, have been, or will be world powers that don't use torture?
Yes. Are you retarded? Every intelligence agency in the United States has known for years that torture does not yield useful information and that it is next to useless.

Even disregarding the obvious moral issues, it has not and does not yield uniquely useful intelligence. It DOES produce enmity against the United States and radicalize terrorists. See: Charlie Hebdo attackers who blatantly say they began their path down radicalization after being outraged by Abu Ghraib and Gitmo.

The irony of the wannabe-Machiavellian contrarians is that the evil shit they support isn't even tactically beneficial.

The question wasn't how effective torture was it was did governments not use it before bush. The programs going on were going on well before he took office he just makes a convenient scapegoat for simpleminded conspiritards.

I meant "Yes" in response to "there can be world powers that don't use torture." There can, and there will be.

>I would say that Bush was more of a victim of bad advisors and an incompetent intelligence agency than malicious.
You would be wrong. Bush and his crew knew full well that Saddam had no WMDs.

>In response to Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz pushing for an invasion of Iraq in those first meetings, Nakhleh told me, he stood up at one point and said to them, “If you want to go after that son of a bitch [Saddam] to settle all scores, be my guest, but we have no information that Saddam was tied to al Qaeda or to terrorism and we have no clear information” about weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Nakhleh said, after the first several meetings post-9/11, “my conclusion and other analysts’ conclusion was they were going to go to war. The train had left the station, regardless of the intelligence we presented.”
Quote from Jeremy Scahill's Dirty Wars. "Nakleh" is Emile Nakleh, a top CIA analyst.

When we talk about "Bush" we are talking about Bush, Cheney and the whole crew of neocons he surrounded himself with, since we can never really say for sure how much of each decision was Bush's, or what everybody's role was.

“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”

On a completely unrelated note, just the 'quote' thing got me thinking of something, there is a quote I think I have seen attributed to the crazy guy who wrote The Decline of the West. Bald dude.

I remembered this one time our philosophy teacher told us to choose a phrase that we wanted to see in our graves.
I don't remembered what I picked, but probably something stupid. I do remember one guys saying "I did what I could". Now that I think about it, that was quite sad in some way.

Anyways, I hated my philosophy teacher anyways. She was a hateful bitch who never inspired any sort of philosophical questioning in me. Well, I was quite an asshole back then, so it's not much of her fault.

Returning to the subject, I think I would pick definitely the whole paragraph from "the myth of sysiphus" were Camus talk how actors live various lives. I wish I will look back at mine at one point and say "well, I definitely lived a lot of times".

if I go to the west, I do not find him.
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
“But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
He does whatever he pleases.
He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.
That is why I am terrified before him;
when I think of all this, I fear him.
God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me.
Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,

there to be an infinite amount of iterations of a none emotional self aware entity which needn't suffer.
If you are referring to the animal known as "human",
