The "War" in grenada.... I can see how you won that one, how big an army did they have 20 or 30 soldiers?

"It has been exactly twenty years since the U.S. forces invaded Grenada, ending that Caribbean island nation's four-year socialist experiment. An island nation no bigger than Martha's Vineyard, with a population that could barely fill the Rose Bowl, was defeated with relatively few American casualties. President Ronald Reagan's decision to occupy the country and replace the government with one more to his liking proved to be quite popular in the United States, with polls indicating that 63% of the public supported the invasion. "

Other than that the US lost to Iran under carter, Cuba under every president since Kennedy, Iraq under Bush I, and in viet Nam and Korea.

1. The Middle East is a predominantly Islamic region. In case you hadn't noticed, it's been that way for thousands of years. The culture, the religion, and the traditions are steeped in Islamic law and beliefs. That's the direction the water's flowing. Do you think WE have the "right" to determine policies that "go against the wishes of Islam" in our arrogant determinations of how they will be governed, what kind of foreign policy they will pursue, how they will treat their women and what kind of justice system they will adopt?

Maybe you have yet to notice but the war with Islam has been going on since 622 ad and is going to continue until one system or the other is toast. I suggest you convert now.

As for getting some balls, I am steadily getting ready for the war I think you are about to cause. You on the other hand are getting ready for more rationalizations and more appeasement. Good for you....
