Oh, did you make the error in thinking that I was stating that all of these were wins? Your mistake, then. I was listing them as engagements, otherwise known as wars. The duration, success, or finality of any engagment on this list does not change the fact that it was a war.

Really? Which ones were classified by international law as 'war'? That's right, none of them. Police actions and therefore skirmishes in a larger 'war'.

Don't try to shift the focus, which was how we defeated Communism.

My point is proven. In 'defeating' communism in Afghanistan, which defeated itself in fact, the next problem was created. War doesn't solve anything, it just creates more problems for the next generation.

Which, if you can wait 10-25 years, you'll see in the creation of the Persian superstate. As all secular forms of government are now out of the way, the next step will be an eventual unification between Iraq and Iran.

Only if you are willing to surrender your intellectual honesty can you consider your point being proven by changing the topic, as you have attempted to do yet again. The current scourge that is Islam was not created by the defeat of Communism, it has been working its bloody work for over a 1000 years. Don't you know anything about history?

But thank you for admitting that it was indeed a war and that Communism was defeated there. It was the first honest thing you've posted today.
