ORIGINAL: farglebargle I think the people for this need to think really good and hard about the following points. 1) IF you are of service age and support the idea that this is the most important fight in the history of our nation, there is no other way to express that support than service. I would suggest those who want others to die in their place are worthless cowards, and we should not waste our time in discussion with them. 2) It costs the lives of 2.25 American Kids EACH AND EVER DAY. How many more kids are you willing to kill while you dither? So, if you're qualified under (1), I'd like to hear your answer to (2)? What is the price in AMERICAN KIDS LIVES that you're willing to pay while you keep giving Bush at-bats? Again, WAR SUPPORTERS OF SERVICE AGE WHO ARE COWARDLY NOT SERVING DO NOT COUNT. "Again, WAR SUPPORTERS OF SERVICE AGE WHO ARE COWARDLY NOT SERVING DO NOT COUNT." True that brother. I also think most of the other war supporters should not be listened to either.It`s all a repetition of white house talking points anyway.Why listen to them 2nd and 3rd hand,when we can get them from the white house directly. Most of the proponents of this "Vietnam style" folly(Iraq),were against any type of foreign intervention, nation building,or becoming the"world`s policemen",before bush.They didn`t want anything to do with liberal things like foreign aid,the UN,or helping the 3rd world.No intervention in Darfur,Somalia,etc. Now,lol, they`re the fucking experts on nation building and foreign intervention.You can` tell them anything,they know it all.And if you question them,you`re painted as helping our enemies.What a bunch of bozos. There was a huge,veteran force of experts and personal, in the State Department(mostly there w/ others through out the gov.),with years of hard earned experience in nation building.Bosnia,Kosovo,Serbia,Croatia,etc.Bush over looked them,and hired Haliberton to do it all.Haliberton in turn,hired 18-28 year old kids,who`s only credential was being a member of the Heritage Foundation,another think tank,that helped bush sell this lie called the Iraq war .These kids,with no real experience other than being young republicans,were sent to Iraq to rebuild Iraq into a neo-cons dream-state.Got rid of every institution in Iraq(accept the Ministry of Oil)and replaced them with western style ones,like a NYC style Wall Street exchange,which btw, was a multi billion dollar failure. In the UN,we had good friends,who were willing to help,if only asked.There is an army of men and women w/ real life experience in nation building with our allies.Instead,we thumbed our noses at them,if they didn`t want to help us attack Iraq.Called them cowards and wimps.Does anybody remember "freedom fries" and the knuckle headed congressmen, who wanted to make a law to rename frenchfries,"freedom fries"? That`s the level of intelligence and sophistication we`re dealing with here,folks. Now,getting back to the thread....What now? The answer will probably involve other nations helping us,when we`re rid of bush.It will most likely involve partitioning Iraq into 3 states or separate countries.How that shakes out is yet to be known.We may not be able to contain the civil war,and we`d only be targets for both sides anyway.Trying to keep this all together is to much to ask of an army.Armys are not the best nation builders.Our`s is the best army in the world,(for now anyway),but they weren`t trained for this. The answer will involve getting the experts and honest people in,and getting the amateurs and bad faith players out. Peace
