Once again you believe American opinion is broadcast by the major media...The media has its own agenda that it is trying to push on American society... If we really had lost our stomach for war loses you would see protests in the street everyday... you don't... the antiwar/socialist crowd has to combine all its protesters from all its different causes to get even 1000 people out in the streets...

As for Iran that remains to be seen... I doubt we will get the chance to invade... the Brits are already beating that war drum, but if asked I am sure we will follow them in and yes the American public will support... We understand that this is a war against western civilization.. the MSM does not... were you get off saying we can barely hold off a bunch of thugs in Iraq is beyond me... we have taken the country from dictatorship to constitution in 2 years... I would say that that qualifies as a success.

When we declared war on Hitlers Germany (2 years before the Yanks BTW), we had an even smaller standing army.
Our boys volunteered by the hundreds of thousands and had over 1 million volunteers - in a country of about 15 million at the time.
If the Americans really believed this was a war of survival AND had the stomach to fight, you'd see million of brave young men and women volunteering.
But you DON'T, do you.
So that begs the question.
Do young people believe that this is a war worth fighting, and if so, why don't they...
How many here who talk tough against the antiwar/socialist crowd (as you call them) signed up mor encouraged their kids to join the armed forces.
Very few I'm betting. Unfortunately, you exemplify what a lot of folks think about Americans and that is you talk a good game, but when it's time to do the dirty work, it's time to look for the exemption...
And if you can't take this sort of dialogue then don't start with your Canadians are a bunch of pussies chatter (or you can always complain to the Forum Admins to have us banned so you won't have anyone to question your tough he-man talk)....
So g'day, eh?
