The war was *won* years ago. Saddam and his regime was overturned; the Taliban was tossed out of power in Af'stan. The Talleyban will come back, Saddam will not.Troops (they are troops) do only one thing well: The Break Things and Kill People. Once that job is done, their job is done. Troops cannot bring peace, that is NOT their function. After WW-II we OCCUPIED Axis countries. *WE* provided the government and ran everything at our pleasure. It was several YEARS before we removed the occupation and returned the government to the peoples of Germany, Italy, and Japan. We no longer OCCUPY countries that we conqueror in war, so we really cannot control or dictate the shape of peace of the government and/or its adversaries. Mr. Hitler tried to exterminate Jews. He failed, and both Jews and Israel are stronger than ever. Mr. H of course was an evil devil full of hate and shit, but *WE* will have no better luck trying to exterminate AlQuida or the Tailiban than he had with his hideous project. Those terrorists will survive, and their hatred will survive no matter what we do over there. ADD to this the fact that they are Islamic, and we are Christian (sort of, anyway) and so they have deeply rooted history and ideology to both defend and to draw succor (and recruits) from. AND we have no intention of overturning Islam, that is not our way, it is not moral, and is quite impossible anyway. The peoples in these lands will have to grow the way that they will grow. Some will always be our enemies, that is to say that they will choose to be our enemies. We are willing to be friends with anyone who is willing to be friends with us. Call us naive, but that is the way the world is. It pays to have the strongest Military on the face of the planet. ROAR |
