Some wars are necessary, and some are unjustified. If it weren't for
said bleeding heart liberals the US would still be bogged down in Viet
Nam.

No we wouldn't. You're assuming that war was "unwinnable". I think that
the half-hearted effort our government put forth just prolonged the
war...and increased our casualty numbers.

I don't know if you're old enough to know much about that
conflict, but unfortunately, Iraq has more in common with Viet Nam
than any other conflict.

It has nothing in common. There is no Russia or China to help back the
people causing the trouble. Saddam's army was soundly defeated, but there
are terrorists there using leftover caches of explosives to inflict terror
strikes. Nobody is supplying them with arms like they were the Vietcong.
Not one attack has a strategic value. The terrorist control no land, no
cities, and no supply line. Their sole purpose is to inflict enough
casualties that American opinion starts to sway, and we leave with our tails
between our legs.




Sorry to see that
you're cooperating.

I'm glad to see he's patriotically exercising his right to dissent.
You young people missed your chance to watch the nation go throught
the trials of an unjust war. Lucky you, now's your chance. It might
take you 20 or so years to understand, but most likely, some day you
will.

I see the war as a way to protect America and its economy. The Middle East
is a mess. Unfortunately, our entire economy depends upon its oil.
Removing Saddam and installing an American-friendly government protects the
flow of oil so we don't have to put up with the Saudi's bull****. There has
been ample evidence that Saddam's intelligence people had worked and have
been working with many of the World's terror organizations. He provided
safe haven for many of them...and would likely supply WMD's at his first
opportunity. Hell, there's an article in Newsweek (I think) discussing how
al Qaeda has biological weapons and has been working on a means to deliver
them. You think the war was unjustified...and I think otherwise...and
always will.




Perhaps you should be charged with sedition.

Not yet, but if Bush wins again in '04, Ashcroft may have his way.

One can only hope. ;-)
