This is no debate....insulting your opponent is not a debating skill I was taught in debate.
It's simple....you delight in American failures and hope you can add this current war to the same list you keep.
Regardless of what you might say in the future, I stand by my country, it's president and their decision to do what they and the vast majority in this country feel was necessary to protect America's long term interests, the interests of the Iraqi people and the Middle East in general.
I further contend that as to my original belief, that in the southern cities, had not the fedayeen kidnapped children, threatened Iraqi men and their families, we would have seen the very thing I originally stated....lack of a will to die for Saddam and a sincere gratitude for the chance for a better life. News of this form of liberation in the south, had it spread to Baghdad, which it may still, could result in a much easier realization of our goal and intent with a minimal loss of US and Iraqi life....that is what I remain hopeful for.
Communism was defeated in Russia and Eastern Europe politically...Germany and Japan required direct and intentional violence....the same will be necessary in Iraq.
I don't pretend to have all of the answers....I do however understand this....doing what is right in your own personal life or on the worlds stage, most often is not easy nor does it come without sacrifice.
This board is full of folks who stand on the sidelines, uninvolved either personally or by nationality, tossing out their so well informed opinions of the US and it's actions, all the while doing so completely for free. I have no respect for those people nor their methods.
