The world wars were not won by the axis seeing they couldnt win, we had to physically go over there lose lives and kill them until we got to berlin, and japan, if we woulda just stopped half way after countless lives on both sides have been lost, hitler and tojo would still be around, and tons more people would be dead.
The terrorist people will always believe what they are doing is "right" yes if their dad gets killed fighting those "evil" americans, they are gonna join some organization and follow in his foot steps. It is an endless supply, even if we do get Osama Bin Laden, nothing will change, people will fill in his place and it will alll continue.
IMHO, i agreed with the war on Iraq, as them pepople didnt need to suffer under Saddam and that guy was about worthless, i agree with that war as long as we give them some help and show them how to set up and fair and equal country.
The war on terror however, it seems like another vietnam to me, 100s/1000s of lives on boths sides will be lost, and for nothing, there will always been someone to take the place of the man who just fell before him, they will set more and more bombs up killing americans, jump back into the bushes, we will hunt some down kill em, and just and endless battle.
IMHO, more lives will be lost going over and trying to stop them all, then will be lost without the whole war in the long run. Until people live at "peace" with EVERYONE the world will not be a safe place, youll still have to worry somewhat when you get on an airplane, or in your car etc etc.
all this is just MHO you dont have to agree or disagree.
