[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 144213, member: 1912"] Wkmac , I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiments. I disagree with our countries interpretation of what a war is meant to be. We attempt to somehow fight a war in a humane fashion as if such a thing is possible. My belief is that once we determine a war is necessary we fight it with everything we have. To risk our sons and daughters requires our willingness to fight the war with everything we have as a committment to those who risk their lives. Let it all hang out. To do anything less is to fight a half ass war as we did in Vietnam and as we do now. Our reason to fight this war were valid. We fought persian gulf war 1. the Iraqis agreed to terms. If they violate those terms then we have an obligation to finish the job. We believed right or wrong that there were WMD's in Iraq. Most of our leaders including todays dissenting democrats agreed. Once we made the committment to act on these fears we should have done so with a total committment to the act of war. So in todays world we fight a war in which we try to do so without hurting anyones feelings. In the process an excess of our sons and daughters die needlessly. If we weren't prepared to make a total committment to war then we should have stayed home. Either option would have been acceptable to me in this case. Isolationism did not work in yesterdays world. It may work in todays with all the technological advancements we have gained. Invoke the Monroe Doctrine on any threats in this hemisphere and tell the rest of the world to go to hell. Make a total committment to alternative fuels so we no longer need to care what happens in the middle east. I'm tired of being policeman to the world. Not because its wrong to do but because we keep sending Barney Fife out with one bullet tucked in his front pocket. [/QUOTE]
