So you believe that the Iraq war, accounting for inflation, will be the most expensive in US history and we will lose to Iraq? I got some bad news for you: military technology does not stand still. Weapons quite adequate for wars when you were born are barely decent targets now.

Here, this might help: Message 21443677 Now my voew on a number of these points are already known: Iraq was an unjustified screw-up. But we're there now. Our choices are pull out and get a mess, or try to straighten things out. If we can. We're not Nazis. We hate Nazis. Bush and/or the US gov't were not behind 911. CYBER and his "LET's intern all the Democrats" are nuts. Bush is not going to bring you a polce state. A draft is a terrible idea. Men who will willinly do the jon are better. This isn't a police state. You ptove it every day. AMd it won't be if we have anything to say about it. As a matter of fact, many of us disagree with the President, particularly when it comes to illegal immigration and deficit spending. Basically, agree. I don't see that you can fight a war without deficit spending, though.
