That's right. You think we won WWII on the strength of our diplomatic corps, or perhaps you think we lost ...
Syria is in transition and all the petty problems including Hesbollah will fade when Sadam is challanged and defeated. Syria is one of the small islands on the way that can be bypased in an island hopping strategy.
It is not yeaterday.... the old rules no longer apply.
I'm starting to think we will see none of the above. Afghanistan will be it.
W.T.F., this is not the right time??!!
Fair enough. But what you call "appeasement", I call good long-term strategy.
What do you know of the Arabs ?
I was asking for you to share your vast knowledge of WWII naval engagements. Geeze, you really are a simpleton...you are way over your head at this site. I've seen your weak arguements in other debates, and most people wind up laughing at your inane remarks.
Exactly, much like we did in the Pacific campaign in WWII. Doesn't work for a_witness or others. They want all guns blazing all at once on all of the M.E. They just cannot comprehend long-term goals and strategy.
to name arguably the most important in the beginning. There were many battles but it was the will to fight and total victory in the war that was important. We destroyed the Japanese threat to our nation and all they hit was Pearl Harbor. Our capital was attacked you ..... veteran
Yes, at once. With nuclear weapons if necessary.
We live in a democracy not a dictatorship. I don't think that one can go around and agree with everything that a leader does. Yeah I'm glad Bush is in and not Gore but to defend him for everything he does is absolutely ridiculous. Bush has turned very liberal and it isn't hard to see that.
if you're going to debate at least get the facts right. Our Capitol was not attacked, although their is speculation that Flight 93 was heading there, but no proof.
Well, there ya go. Nothing like giving Russia, China, and many others reason to fear perceived American imperialism and join together for their common defense, not to mention destroying an entire region of the world. Unbelievable.
Then what are you belly-aching about? It's not even May.
