I think that in a cycle of violence, the person with the biggest stick wins. Seeing as how America has the biggest stick, we will eventually win.

rofl,
britian had the bigger stick in our war for independance.
80 percent of the insurgents we fight in Iraq are Iraqis. why? mabe because they feel they traded a tyrant for the anti-christ?
we have killed more iraqi,s in the last two wars with them than hussin has killed in his life time. hussin made people dissappear? we butcher whole famileys on street corners in broad day light. hussin tortured their loved ones? dito for us.
life for the average Iraqi was better under Hussins rule.
liberating a country? freeing them from oppression? that is not what the iraqi people see. what they see is their famileys being butchered on the steet, their loved ones being humilated and abused and sometimes killed in our prisons, no waste system, very little drinkable water, sporadic electric, closed schools, no jobs, no food, and a very real fear of venturing out to get any of the above.
it is about integrity. we have none, so they dont trust us. they dont believe us. they donw want to give us a chance to suceed.
our integrity is more important to winning the peace than our military is. and currently, we have none. without it, we can not win the peace. as long as this addministraition is in charge, there will be no peace because they associate our lack of integrity with our current leader.
as long as bush is in charge, there will be no peace in Iraq.
that is not saying someone else will do better. that is just saying bush can not achieve peace in iraq at all.
and the biggest reason is the complete lack of integrity this addministraitoion has shown through out the world in matters of trust. the walking away from treties, the rationalizing of torture, the defending of criminal acts like outing a cia operative and sending prisoners to other countries to be tortured.
integrity.
we have none. without it we CAN NOT lead.
