>>Gulf War I was a total victory in every way If you negotiate a cease-fire which the other side promptly repudiates afterwards, how is that a "win"? Have we won in Fallujah? Have the Israelis won in Gaza and the West Bank? It is true that the Iraqi military left Kuwait, but otherwise they did not comply with the terms and conditions of the case fire. We spent over a decade just maintaining the status quo through constant armed surveillance and intervention. We bombed Iraqi installations on a daily basis, so much so that nobody even noticed it in the news anymore. I don't recall that ever happening anywhere else in history and being called a win. It was a temporary truce, nothing better than that, and it did not last. >>It was unfortuante what happened to those people in Iraq. It was caused, in large part, by their misplaced trust in the American government. >>We still have to deal with WOT but Iraq should not be on top of the list. AQ and Iran should be. I'll mark you down as a supporter of pre-emption against Iran then, shall I? I suppose you found it incomprehensible that we started the fight against the Nazis in North Africa and then Italy.
