General Lee lost the civil war at Gettysburg by making terrible military decisions, like Picketts charge and forcing Hood to attack uphill instead of going around; and not heeding Longstreets pleas to withdraw to a defensible position.

I see you read Newt Gingrich's "Gettysburg."

PS: the kids in Iran like America and make up 70% of the population and are trying to overthrow the clerics. But if we, or Israel, bomb their nuclear faciliteis, we will alienate the kids and progressives just as they are fighting in the streets for democracy.

The word that describes the chance that we will strike Iran's nuke facilities is, I believe, "never." At least not while we have the appeaser in chief in the White House. The best thing he could do is telegraph in no uncertain terms that the United States stands behind the Iranian protesters. He has yet to do that. Why do you think that is?
