I actually agree with much of what you say. We part company in what to do after the event. I would be willing to bomb these countries and yes - KILL EVERY LAST AIR BREATHING HUMAN in the region. I have no moral problem with that - NONE. But since we aren't going to do that I think the mission is going to require a long stay - years. I also think that occupation may be our only choice to avoid an economic disaster. Are we being told all of the reason for the invasion? Not even close. Are there reasons that seem less than tasteful? Yep! Is this something I want? Not a chance. But since I have no control I at least want it done right. If that means the extermination of all indigenous people then so be it. We have f*cked around before and left people standing that have later become a problem. If we're going to do it then lets not make that same mistake again. As you mentioned - Hitler was a maniac and so are several leaders around the world today. The difference is that the maniacs of today can wipe out societies with the press of a button. I'd prefer to be the "wiper" as opposed to the "wipee." I think our desires are the same but I think the extent that I'd be willing to go to may be different. That's not all that unusual with me. We enjoy a lifestyle in this country that I'm not willing to give up. We've earned it and I would like to keep it. If that means we have to butcher a couple hundred million I can live with that. What I can't live with ( and you touched on this ) is allowing our young men and women to die in volumes to accomplish this when it can be done without the need to send in troops too early. I fully expect that we will see retaliation here at home and that bothers me as well. For every event that happens here I would vaporize countless thousands of people in suspected terrorist nations. Terrorists may be able to kill and disrupt our society on an isolated basis but nobody has killing in volume down to a science like the USA. If its a war of attrition they wish to wage than I say lets go and lets pull out the stops.
