		<description>Washington dosen&#039;t care about the troops in Iraq, the only reason the casuality rate is lower than Vietnam is new medicine which sends damaged soldiers back to the US to fend for themselves.

This &quot;new&quot; troop increase will increase the casuality rate but why would
someone who hasn&#039;t seen combat care.  As for the military disagree with Bush and forget any promotion and retire.

God help the troops who are in more danger now than they were previously.  Until Bush is gone Iraq=Vietnam with the same eventual result, the military &amp; the administration are making up new Iraq solutions on the fly over dead soliders, just as they have been since the invasion.</description>

		<description>Has Bush and Rice been on holiday for the past four years? The way both are running around on the war path one can only assume that they learned nothing from 9/11.

I wonder if they would be so gung ho if another country was capable of dropping missiles on Washington. One can always talk tough when the enemies of the state are thousands of miles away.</description>

		<description>Any Americans who, despite their beliefs on the necessity of the Iraq invasion, are not hoping and praying for a U.S victory there, should be ashamed of themselves. Any serious student of history knows that if it were not for the USA, no one on this earth would now be living in freedom. We have only two choices in dealing with born murderers who are able to exploit the weak of mind as suicidal killers of the innocent. We can either fight them or do whatever they want us to do. Ignoring them is not an option. More on this later.

		<description>Above and beyond Secretary Rice&#039;s impressive education sits her blind faith in anything that favors Big Oil. See her support of Equatorial Guinea, which tortures its starving citizens but keeps the oil flowing. See also the Unocal oil tanker bearing her name. She aint the Bush/Cheney diplomatic choice for any other reason. A disgusting human being.</description>

		<description>[...] I&#8217;m also reminded that the president has a very simple world view, and this is not a simple world.

That&#8217;s worked out really well.). I&#8217;m thinking that we need strong leadership and skilled crisis intervention. We need a diplomatic mission that forces the big boys to the table, that hammers out agreements between people who can&#8217;t agree. [...]</description>

		<description>Here is an interesting object lesson:

In 1850BC the Egyptian Early Kingdom had been the world&#039;s superpower for hundreds of years. They certainly occupied Palestine, the crossroads of the world at the time. But around then came a liberal government...a Pharoah McGovern as it were.

He decided that it was not nice (and too costly) to occupy Palestine and he pulled back all the troops. Twenty years later, his crack troops were in their 40s and retiring, replaced by untrained troops in a degraded army.

Meanwhile, in the mountains of Turkey, a new civilization had invented weapons of mass destruction: these were called chariots.

But the Egyptian CIA had also been downgraded and/or they felt it was immoral to read other people&#039;s papyruses (or is it papuri). So nobody knew about chariots.

In the middle of one night...the unknown enemy that had silently crossed the unguarded Palestine...entered Egypt and captured the entire country with the terrifying new chariots.

Many say that it was under the administration of this non-Egyptian force that Joseph was able to become a high official...while his descendants were made into slaves when the Egyptians recaptured their own country generations later. This memory caused the Egyptian Middle and Late Kingdoms to be a lot stronger.

Main lesson: one cannot cede at least indirect control (or alliance with) the people who control important resources and key crossroads in this world. Before this war ends, Iranian oil revenue must not be flowing into the hands of terrorists.</description>

		<description>LA kid,

&lt;em&gt;As you claim everything is so hunky-dory since the US invaded Iraq, infrastructure is better, Saddam is out of office, why donâ€™t you both report to us from the streets of Baghdad on this blog? Iâ€™m sure weâ€™d like to hear your live, for a time at least, reports. &lt;strong&gt;Please donâ€™t give us excuses, just go there and experience it first hand&lt;/strong&gt;. Then, if you return, we will gladly listen.&lt;/em&gt;

No where did I say everything is &quot;hunky-dory&quot;, exaggerated strawmen are a poor debater&#039;s trick.

As for your suggestion that we go to Iraq and report, why don&#039;t you? You apparently disagree with the facts I presented, so why don&#039;t you go to Iraq yourself and report on how horrible everything is?

See how lame that debate tactic is now?</description>

		<description>And don&#039;t get me started about how bad democracy can be. It is just that, as Churchill said, it is unfortunately the best form of government. That is why we are installing them. Even if some arabs vote in terrorist governments...when those get defeated, the people will have some &quot;ownership&quot; in their defeats and vote more wisely next time. Democracy is a learning process.

Americans are learning and still can&#039;t get their democracy straight:

The American democracy voted for the IMBRA law that Bush signed. It is under restraining order by one federal judge but another (Republican) judge has said &quot;The Supreme Court has never recognized a fundamental liberty interest in Americans meeting foreigners for relationships.&quot;

Apparently the American people voted to have their right to association limited to domestic &quot;associates&quot; only.

Be sure not to vote Republican in November for THAT reason. But there is no reason to rationalize that killing terrorists and their younger brothers will magically create a non-existant additional 3 brothers appear and become terrorists.</description>

		<description>Brian, American soldiers &lt;strong&gt;are&lt;/strong&gt; putting their lives at risk every single day to protect that lives of innocent Iraqis from the terrorists and &quot;insurgents.&quot; If the U.S. didn&#039;t care about the lives of innocent Iraqis, it would have defeated Saddam, toppled the Baathist regime, and then left the Iraqis to fend for themselves in April or May of 2003 and many hundreds of American solidiers&#039; lives would have been saved,, but at a terrible cost to the Iraqis. The vast number of U.S. casualties have come after the defeat of Saddam; casulaties inflicted while U.S. soldiers patrol the streets of Baghdad, etc. to help maintain order and help the Iraqis rebuild their country destroyed by 30 years of Saddam&#039;s fanatical, genocial reign.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;That is why it was/is necessary to pursue and destroy Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with a global reach and capability. &lt;/em&gt;

By all means, but not by killing hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands of civilians. If you are the great humanitarian you claim to be, you&#039;ll have no problem putting american soldiers lives at risk to protect innocents in Iraq.</description>
