yeah, lets try another ground war. urban warfare is a better option. the Democrats whine, get power at some point, we leave wherever we are after losing thousands... and Iran still has nukes and terrorists are not defeated.

we are running out of opinions quickly.

I dont know if any of you listened to Rush awhile back when he said, this is a "religious war" and people not want to face the facts because in a "religious war" there is no way out but go all the way. no side is going to give in.

I suppose you meant ~options~. Opinions we seem to have aplenty.

But you've exposed your jerkable knee. If we're just going to pre-emptively nuke every troublespot on the globe, what are all the troops for? Occupying radioactive glass ground? I don't think so.

We don't and we won't need a draft, pretty much no matter what happens. Yes, we're coming to an important turning point in world history. Perhaps more import than the beginning of the last century. Yes, there will be a religious war, and no it will not be of our making. But we'll finish it. How many we'll have to kill is up to them.

Islam writ large must reform. Maybe they'll figure that out. I think we should give them the chance. See if some Mohammed Al-Luther will nail some theses to a Mosque door to get them started. Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. But it isn't up to us. What's up to us is to maybe leave them one way that doesn't lead to oblivion.
