I don't think the United States is known for running from a fight as soon as it gets a bloody nose. Are you referring to the 1982 Lebanon police action? Or Somalia? You can't be refering to more recent actions such as Kosovo. How about the 1993 WTC bombing? The U.S.S. Cole attack? What did we do? We did nothing... Today's truly horrible events in Iraq (150 dead at last count, with more to come I am afraid) evidence the very nature of the Sectarian civil war under way. The Shia in Sadr City are bombed. They retaliate by lobbing morters into Sunni neighborhoods, at mosques. The Sunni then plan their retaliation. I agree with you here, a civil war is clear enough, but I don't know if that could have been avoided either... maybe if we handled things differently, but that's only for the history books to decide... The liberal press in the US has nothing to do with the motivations behind any of this. Nothing at all. If we had had a gag on the press for the last three years, things there would be just as they are now. I can only partly agree with you here, but I do truly believe that all this internal bickering between ourselves makes us look weak and obviously indecisive, and this only encourages the extremists to try to escalate their efforts against the West...
