Anyone can tell you that we are involved in yet another 'police action'. -- Feel free to dupe yourselves into believing it's a holy war. -- Tho you had better pray that it doesn't turn into one.

The ONLY people who don't consider this yet a religious war are Americans.

You can rest assured that every single muslim on the "arab street" believes this is a religious war.

Nonsense. There are 125 Muslims from Algeria currently serving with our coalition in Iraq. There are more than 1,000 Muslims serving in the U.S. armed forces, too. Muslims in Libya certainly don't think that this is a holy war. Nor do the Muslims serving under Musharraf in Pakistan. Qatar, the UAE, and Sudan seem to be on our side, too.

...And there are 20 million Muslims in Afghanistan who greatly prefer the U.S. backed Northern Alliance over the hated Taliban, too. You'd be hard pressed to get them to think that this is a religious war, though the liberal news media would love for you to try.

Neither of you have even remotely faced up to the fact that we simply don't have a reason to fight an 'unconditional surrender/kill em all' type war in Iraq.

As I said above, -- we are there, imo, to prevent a middle east WWIII.
Let us hope one does not develop.

Dream on fellas, -- that we are fighting an unlimited war in Iraq.

And the reason they may think think that is a result of the political failures made in explaining this police action 'war'..

We needed land bases in the middle east to try to bring control to this mess, -- so we took them..
-- This ain't about religion, -- its our self protective business, -- our national interest.

Arabs understand power, and respect those who know how to use it.
Our 'political leaders' do not have their respect..
