:upyours: so is it ok to let a country that is training and harboring terrorists(the same place that the 9/11 terrorists were trained mind you)continue? Look at it from a military and security standpoint, take out the major areas for the camp and the rest of the orginization will crumble w/out its foundation.

You need to think about things from the poor terrorists' point of veiw. For years they have had to put up with the western world forcing freedom and equality on them. Their society crumbled under the US's corrupt rule, so they took the only reasonable steps towards freeing themselves of that monster of a nation. The saints who sacrificed themselves to beat-back the US will last forever in heaven.

To be honest w/ you Posi i could care less about the holy lands of the people attacking th U.S. holy lands. We are the only people around w/ soldiers(the men and women of our military) who have the guts enough to stand up for what they believe in. its better than a country whose last war that was fought was WW2 and no one remembers them because they really took no offensive action. Yep thats a great job defending your borders while were off doing the dirty work w/ Great Britan. So of course we responded to the attacks, if you were put into a situation that thousands of your countries people died in less the 2 hours would you stand up for your self or would you tuck tail and run? We are the world police because no one else has the brass ennough to try to prevent another Hitler, Stalin,Musslini, or Castro.

We did fight the terrorists, in Afganistan. Ya know, the country they were attacking from. And the best thanks we got from the US was the US bombing our soldiers. The reason we did not fight is you were totally unable to prove the Saddam needed was a threat worthy of removing.

I'm afraid that is an incorrect statement. Canadians participated in quite a few major battles in the European theatre, including the D-Day invasion. Also, after WWII ended, the Canadian military was the fourth most powerful in the world. I suggest you check your facts before making such naive statements. I will not argue the rest of your post for I feel its naivity and uneducated nature is enough argument against it as it is.

Once again, please check before making blind statements. I am actually an American, not a Canadian. As for the Canadian military not keeping up with the rest of the world...they really had no need to. Further, I do not see why a huge military is such a bonus. I feel all that is needed for a military is:
1. Enough to successfully defend against an invasion.
2. Enough to aid in relief efforts in natural disasters
3. Enough to participate(not necessarily lead, just participate) in actions against other nations if it is necessary, such as in the case of war declared against the U.S. or another NATO member.

That's it. Anymore than that is unnecessary and wasteful.

The biggest reasons the United States were successful in both World Wars were:

1) It was always a fresh and fully stocked late-comer in a field where all the other combatants were exhausted and drained of resources from beating the shit out of each other years before.

and

2) The United States is located on the other side of the planet from Europe, so its population centers and industrial capabilities were unable to be touched by bombings, artillery or full-out invasion.

Bragging about the United States being the "savior" in both World Wars is like bragging about being the last wrestler to get inside the Royal Rumble and winning.

Such policies are also flawed. Teens will have sex regardless of what they are told. It would make much more sense to take this into account, face reality, and make sex education about teaching them how to avoid STDs and the like, as well as make condoms and other birth control methods freely available.

But then, that would make sense, and if there's one thing people typically never do, it's make sense.

Such policies are also flawed. Teens will have sex regardless of what they are told. It would make much more sense to take this into account, face reality, and make sex education about teaching them how to avoid STDs and the like, as well as make condoms and other birth control methods freely available.

But then, that would make sense, and if there's one thing people typically never do, it's make sense.

I don't think that those measures would improve the war. I think that the US military is probably more professional than to let mere public opinion get in the way of the completeion of their task.

What takes more courage? Pressing a button to launch a missile at someone or pressing a button to blow yourself up along with some other people?

Besides, the reason why there are suicide bombers is because they don't have cruise missiles on the cheap.

We implemented the following acts:

A carlsbad decree act to weed out any liberal or anti war element from the educated classes

A wartime measures act so any deserter can be killed on sight and any dissendancy at home will be silenced. Also wartime production will sharply rise.

So you want to turn it into a Goldwater&LeMay-esque totalitarian state?

Yes, there's a reason why people turned away from Goldwater in the '68 election. I believe his credo was 'Shoot all the hippies, win the war by nuking Vietnam, restore order via martial law'

This post is the TRUTH about Iraq. If you disagree with it you're wrong.

1) We never should have gone into Iraq. Iraq was a stable, secular government that we could have done business with and slowly pressured into becomming a more liberal and democratic place. Invading Iraq was the dumbest move possible. No good will ever come of it.

2) If we were going to invade we should have put enough troops in Iraq to act as police and military personell for the Iraqi nation until it could be stabilized and rebuilt. That would require at least three hundred thousand US troops and way more money than we've spent already.

3) Now that we're there the best we can do is minimize long term threats emmanating from Iraq.

4) To do that we need to increase troop presence and weed out the insurgents. Then we can pull out.

5) There will be a civil war when we leave. That's inevitable. If we follow the advice in number 4, the war will be short and the government we've installed will probably win it.

6) Iraq will be anti-american when we leave. The government may buy arms from us and sell us oil, but the people will either be sunnis who will hate us for taking away their special rights and privelages or Shiites who will see Iran as a kindred nation and ally.

Yep. All makes sense except #4. You get more troops, but how do youy weed out the insurgents? Seriously, do you have a plan? I don't think you'll ever get them all, as they're essentially like weeds; grab a few from the garden but they keep coming back.

4 is kinda self contradictory.

If you have enough troops you can conduct effective house to house searches for weapons and insurgents. You can disrupt their activities and weaken them. You'll never get rid of all of them, but with overwhelming numbers of alert soldiers keeping their eyes and ears open you can weaken them so that the Iraqi government can destroy them in the subsequent civil war.

It can very well transfer over the Iraqi government -- 'American stooges', 'servants of infidel dogs', etc. (The Chechen insurgents, for example, hate the present Chechen government...) But it will be the problem of the Iraqi government.

Right, and they'll be facing insurgents weakened by having their experienced members hunted down and killed and theri weapons caches raided and confiscated by a massive US force just before the coalition leaves. Those insurgents should be easier to mop up.

Sorta tricky to try and crush rebellion/insurgents/any underground movement with brute force. It's been tried many, many times (Rome vs Christians, British vs Irish, Russians vs Chechnyans (sp?))

Pouring troops in won't work, you need to try and stop the insurgents wanting to kill people in the first place. Diplomacy is the way forwards.

To come back to Ireland, the British sent the SAS in, and they arrested loads of people. Yet the troubles still persisted. It's only when the peace process really took off that things calmed down.

You're missing something. The increase in US troops isn't intended to destroy the insurgency, just weaken it significantly in the short term. Then we withdraw. This removes the main complaint of many of the insurgents. The Iraqi government is left with militarily weakened insurgents with whom it can use diplomacy from a position of power or it can use it's soldiers, police and intelligence officers to hunt them down over the long term.
