Personally from a Militeary veteran's point of view, and a fathers point of view, I think the main thing people should be thinking about is how to either win this terror war, or get out of it..
I've been to Iraq twice in my life, both times I had a "war" to fight. both times it was to liberate Kwait.
The Iraqi people were happy when we ousted Saddam from power, then they wanted us out of their country ( what did I say would happen?)
Ok they want us out? then we should've left after we ousted Saddam, BUT theres this little thing called the Gevenia convention that says we cant leave until a govt is set up in that country.
They don't want a govt set up by the United States, therefore, we're stuck in this for a long time.

Im sure the Al Queda want the US out of Iraq too... there was an intercepted letter from one of the higher ranks of al queda saying that they wanted to create a civil war in iraq and take over. this letter was asking for more help because things were not going as they hoped (or how the news portrays it).

Why are you posting a movie review on this forum? Can't I find them somewhere else? Why don't you tell us what you think instead of a 'cut and paste'.

Oh wait, it's Michael Moore. Well....the term "Fat, Dumb, and Stupid" really dosen't do him justice. Something needs to be added about 'being so full of himself it comes out his ears'

America in a landslide...

A good statistician would account for factors that are incomparable. Such as the differing levels of racial and cutural strife between the countries.

I think I have the best idea that the whole world can use. Its a simple idea,
Why cant we all just be friends and stop killing each other?
or at least try to, instead of killing ourselves.
My science and history teachers both get togeather and do the stat thing, and they came up with a theroy that we as a human race, will cause our own extiction.
Somehow that just seems a little depressing to me.

Nice idea alison but I think that involves the mysterious other 80% of the brain that we don't use.

You know, I've heard that one so many times from the pro-gun lobby...the we need our guns to over throw the govt. thing - thats why Hitler took away all the guns, but I've never seen anything but flimsy anecdotal evidence.

Pre-western Japan was like any other colonial western power, a rigid class system that often lead to bloody inter clan/expansionist clashes. And like Nazi germany, power was held more through in indoctrination where loyalty was king.

As for Micheal Moore, I'll probably go see it, till then I don't have an educated opinion on F9/11...but I did enjoy Bowling.

If your talking about People for the Ethical treatment of Animals, the answer is NO!, theres no way I'd ever be associated with them. I hate PETA. Their terrorists too, just like the ones in Iraq and Afganistan.

ok... lets all get along.... get rid of all weapons.... then somebody with a nail in a board uses it as a weapon and takes over the world. Human nature

Ironic we are talking peace on a war game:rolleyes:

Raptor this may be a war game, but I'd rather get shot down by anyone in this "game" than in real life.
Yes, Aces High is a game, A game based on actual history. So just remember that when you look up something about the planes you fly, or the tanks you drive, your studying history:) I hate to say it to all you "kids", but your actually learning something LMAO. YOUR REALLY IN SCHOOL WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME :)hahahahahahahahaha

If I were a lefty... I would probly be a little alarmed that drivel and bull like moore's stuff would get a 20 minute ovation from fellow lefties..

would make you wonder about your alligence if you had any brains...
