Amusing to see the amount of votes for Libya. I didn't know we had that many Islamists on Atlas.

This. I could have sworn that Libya was the one war that both the left AND right opposed...
On the contrary, the left strongly supported the Libya intervention.

Except me, apparently. I didn't get the memo that we support oil wars + religious fundamentalist movements now.

Except the Libyan rebels weren't even close to being Islamists in most cases.

I said from the outset that it would lead to Libya either becoming an Islamist hellhole or a corporate puppet. And given some of the laws passed recently, it looks like the former. Compare to Iraq as well, where as brutal as Saddam was, the country took a 100 year leap backward after he was kicked out.

Interesting to see that World War I can only muster about 1/3 support.

Very interesting to see how many of this forum's users are pinko-hippy-peaceniks. Voted for all but Vietnam, 1812, and 2 or 3 others. That so many voted against World War II and the Civil war is disgusting. Also, I wonder how many of those who voted against the revolution are Americans.

I voted against and I'm British Wink

the burden is on those who would favor an action, rather than it would be on me to prove a negative.  so you can start us off.

Slavery was bad; the Civil War ended it.

the average Southern black life (adjusting for broader trend-line quality-of-life increases) was no better in, say, 1950 than it was in 1860.

I find this way of thinking incredibly obtuse.  You're completely ignoring the enormous psychological benefit of no longer being someone else's property.  Not having to worry about having your kids torn from you and sold away is pretty damn important.

The greatest trick of all was convincing people that wage slavery isn't related to chattel slavery.

Please, happily recognize me as being an anti-Revolution American.

I'm curious as to why you are.
