Franky my dear, I don't give a damn.

Spoken like a true coward who won't be going over anytime soon to carry the truth of her convictions.

Yet is willing to send others to their deaths, for your opinions.

At this point in the game, everyone is America's enemy.

Certainly that's the Bush approach.
And it is working like a charm.
So went the Romans, when everyone was their enemy, they fell.

Worse, in this age hubris is even greater than simple world domination -- it is "we are doing what is good for you!".

After 50 years of "doing what is good" for the rest of the world it is clear that places like Pakistan/India, Palestine/Israel can only solve their own problems.
The more the US lobbyists coerce billions in military aid into those areas of the world, the more death and destruction there is. US involvement means more to the combatants than their feud with each other.

US unilateral involvement guarantees endless war, not peace.

Does anyone seriously believe the "undeterrable" Arab suicide bombers will be relieved to see war in Iraq, or further support for Israel?
It is these "undeterrables", to use Rumsfeld's phrase, that we are at war with.

You must side with those who hope that by killing thousands or millions of Arabs or Islamists they will cease recruiting poor fanatics.
"Gee," says Madeline Albright, "1/2 million deaths was a hard decision". Can anyone imagine making such a statement... She then follows up, "but it was worth it".

Worth what? Sept 11th ?

Sounds, as they say in dry defense-speak, "counterproductive".
It will only create more fanatics, and the DOD knows this, but "doesn't care", like you, and will happily settle for worldwide conflict that puts them in permanent charge.
