If you think past wars between nation-states are an appropriate comparison for what we are doing in Iraq, then I'm sorry I responded to your post at all, because your opinion can simply be dismissed out of hand.

By the way, the wars you mention were ended by formal surrender, with the exception of the formal armistice in WWI. Do you really think that's how this one is going to end?

Ummm.. Iraq is a nation state.

"then I'm sorry I responded to your post at all, because your opinion can simply be dismissed out of hand. "

Your "opinion",or what can more accurately be described as the loony left, moonbat "opinion, consists of :"I hate Bush, and am against any war that Bush started."
Meanwhile the self same moonbats like you, didn't even make a squeak when BJ Klinton attaccked Serbia in Koosova, ,with no UN Mandate or even authorization by congress.
We call that Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Its a serious disease.
Go get treatment.
You need help.


"By the way, the wars you mention were ended by formal surrender, with the exception of the formal armistice in WWI."

Saddam's generals have already formally surrounded when our excellent troops swiftly took over that country.
The terrorists are simply going to continue dying till they find more productive ways of making a living.
# 2, America has fought and won plenty of wars where there was no formal surrender.
Our wars in Cuba, Granada, Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, even Mexico come to mind


"Do you really think that's how this one is going to end?"

Read the above sucker.
