Balderdash. We can't fight any two front war, nor would we want to, especially with Bush's spend now-pay later philosophy. That is to not ask Americans to sacrifice anything. Keep tax cuts and put wars on the credit card. Keep an all-volunteer army (which is now badly degraded).

Also, how could we ever trust Bush-cheney to run a war again after they have screwed up Iraq so badly? And how could we ever believe their claims about intelligence? They simply cannot be trusted.

Finally, we don't need anymore lust for war. That has only gotten this country in deep-deep trouble; Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, all terribly costly experiences.

If you want to break your addiction to war fever watch "The Fog Of War". It will remind you that we have burned alive and blown apart millions of innocent people over the decades, most of them who were no that to our country whatsoever. You can say "my country right or wrong" if you like, but that's not true. Sometimes we are very wrong.

Bottomline, unless we're attacked we have no business starting these wars to begin with. Vietnam and Iraq were both started on bogus claims that we were "attacked" by those nations. Both wars weakened us as a nation tremendously.
