Well, sure you have a point. But look at

Afghanistan and the Taliban Regime, that was clearly supporting terrorism etc. For all we know, Iraq could become

sort of like Afghanistan.

I don\'t think the whole Iraq war paid off when in the end the new government in Iraq

is gonna be even worse than the Saddam Hussein regime.

That\'s

part of my point. We went to Vietnam, a lot of kids died. We went to Korea, a lot of kids died. Do I need to list

them all? What was the end result of each of those adventures? Nothing, nadda, zip? Nope, we wasted lives and made

enemies needlessly. We should not have gone to Iraq and should not be trying to force them to live in accordance

with our values. We make more enemies, we open the door to more terrorism by enouraging more people to resent us. If

your contry was attacked and occupied, would you hesitate to fight back?

If we are attacked, we fight back with

the full destructive force we can muster. We should make it look like a very bad idea to attack us. But we also

should stay out of any and all countries\' internal politics. Let them live however they choose until the day

comes when the attack us. Then go in with unlimited warfare, show the world why you don\'t want to start a fight

with the US. Offer friendship without strings to anybody who wants to be friends instead of bullying others to

conform to our ideals. In the long run, we will be far better off, as will the rest of the world.
