I think we are already truly threatened with WMD's. My fear is that we won't define victory clearly until after we have lost a major American city.

Thank God Roosevelt and Churchill didn't go to war this way.

"Thank God Roosevelt and Churchill didn't go to war this way."

Actually, if memory serves, English appeasers let Hitler take over most of Europe before they responded and FDR waited until we had lost 80% of our Navy at Pearl Harbor before he reacted. Even then, there was a huge anti-war movement in the US. Fortunately, after the Pearl Harbor attack FDR just told the peaceniks to go away and perform an impossible act of self gratification.

Yep. Throw as many Generals and purge strategies at Iraq as you want to. Our citizenry is not in a mind state of war yet.

4 or 5 nukes in the right places and we are an 1880's society with 300+ million people to feed. Yea, think about that.

My fear too. I think it's going to happen soon after Bush leaves office.
