Cheers Marty Nope, Grenada was the final act of the Spanish American War! Castro = more American meddling gone astray. As a Canadian you should be calling for sanctions against the US! No more maple syrup and hockey black outs! Bring America to its knees! |

Gilly,
I don't know how you really count win or lose in a war? In ww2 we toppled a God Japan. We got rid of Hitler. El DUCE is no longer in power and with the aid of the Truman Doctrine we rebuilt the infrastructure of Europe. Even in Iraq, Saddam is no longer in power. If you mean a victory means destroying a country and enslaving its people, that isn't the USA way |

If you mean a victory means destroying a country and enslaving its people, that isn't the USA way Victory = instilling the classic liberal ideals of individual liberty. WWII: Japan made free. 1/2 of Germany set free. Italy set free. Soviet Union = bigger and stronger China = becomes Communist 1/2 Europe = Commie control 50 million people killed. Spain = not liberated. The argument can be made that WWII was a wash at best. We must beware of the future. For the rotten seed of Nazism is still implanted. And perhaps under some other name or some other guise it could sprout again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w77sLtz754 |

Gilly,
I guess you are still isolated on your Island. The "WALL" is down, Spain was not involved in WW2, Soviet Union is Breaking up, There is a United Europe. The Euro is worth more than the US dollar Most of the European Country of the Soviet union are now independent and joining the European Union. WW2 a wash? You're talking real BS. It was total Unconditional Victory. Both in Europe and it Asia. Ole Thom |

Did you hear weed is now the number one cash crop in the USA..35 billion a year. A sure sign we're winning that war! When do you think the "War on Terrorism" will end? When radical islamic terrorists surrender or die Mission accomplished! The War on Terrorism is a rehash of the Cold War. Not so. Sure it is, but even better. Just like anyone could be a communist, anyone could be a terrorist. Big bucks for defense contractors with very little bang. Guess you havent seen the new raptors Actually I've seen a bit more of them in the development phase than you can imagine. How are Raptors going to crush the Islamofascist savages? Will it make a few low passes overhead, they'll throw down their rifles and surrender? Maybe if we puts wheels on aircraft carriers, we could drive them into Baghdad and the bad guys will surrender! If you want to win you have to be willing to fight, not provoke. At least destroy all the oil fields. Then nuke 'em. Hang in there Gilly, I think thats part of the Dems first 100 hour plan. The US has not won a war since the Spanish American War. Since then they have occasionally toppled governments but usually more people ended up in totalitarian regimes then before the war was started. Tell that to the japs. And the Lithuanians, Belarusians, Latvians, Czechs, East Germans, Bulgarians, Romanians, Poles, ... WWI started WWII. WWII gave Communist Russia more territory and power than ever. 18 million died at the hands of Stalin. Gave us the Cold War. Gulf War I brought us Gulf War II.

Joe,
If there is any doubt of Gobal Terrorist war, the video taped speech should pretty much confirm it ------------------------------------------------------In a new videotape, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the second-in-command to al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, singled out Britain as a historical enemy of Muslims, blaming it for the creation of the state of Israel and the downfall of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. He also said al-Qaeda would continue to plan attacks on the United States and its "Crusader" allies in Europe as long as Western powers remain in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon. "The animosity of Britain toward Islam stretches over centuries," Zawahiri said, according to a translation of his remarks by the SITE Institute, a terrorism research organization. "Isn't it the one who used to occupy most Islamic lands?" •Full international coverage- ---------------------------------------- |
