Are you a real person or just a database of vapid cliches?

This is a slogan and not information or description: For every one we kill ten more will take their place. Nor is hatred of America dead. That you say it a lot gives it no truth values. Terrorist movements which suffer continuous defeat eventually do die away due to deaths, and exhaustion and discouragement of the survivors. Military action on its own is not usually sufficient but when accompanied by genuine political defeat they can be ultimately destroyed. There are things that have died: Any prospect for peace in the middle east and the rule of law. The Iraqis had no peace, nor rule of law, before the US arrived. They had terror and a dictator's caprice. But now their courts are working quite earnestly, and apparently honestly, and terror is abating. There is much still to be done by the US and Iraqis but things are much better for them than during Saddam's reign of terror. Who, by the way, will be tried by Iraqis.

GST, <They're dead.> No they are not. For every one we kill ten more will take their place. Nor is hatred of America dead. There are things that have died: Any prospect for peace in the middle east and the rule of law. Then all is already lost. You should surrender or something, got burka? The reality is that we attack and they die. If we wait for them to attack and respond with lawyers - we die. Talking did not defeat communism or fascism or Nazism or the Militarists in Japan. Killing them did that. Its not pretty, but retreating is not an option - Reagan and Clinton did that - and we were rewarded with 9/11. John

((<They're dead.> No they are not. For every one we kill ten more will take their place.)) Any proof on that?
