I see many similarities. Have they got the "body count" yet? No, but read my posts, it's early in this war. It will change. Just like VN, why is it so invisible to people?
Ignore it if you wish, it won't change what is to come.
More body bags on TV, mine, not yours.

So let me guess, intrepid, you are also in the camp of those advocating that the US and Coalition falter and fail.
Interesting. I learn something new everyday.

Anyhow, be warned, a failure in Iraq will have repercussions throughout the Western world. Islamic terrorism will see it as a victory and as more of a reason to commit further such acts of terrorism abroad. What I do realize is that there is a human cost to a win or lose, as there is with security and freedom. To continue to ignore the problem only causes the problem to fester and grow in severity; 9/11 was the ultimate culmination of decades of sitting idle as Islamic fundamentalism equipped terrorists continued to commit their acts of international terrorism, unabated.

From what I bolded in your post= to what people does this apply to? Only Americans? Do the day to day people of Qatar deserve the same thing?

Moral and ethics aside in this political correct world, the notion that acts of terrorism can go unabated is ludicrous, and that is exactly what you are saying you wish should continue.
Originally posted by Seekerof
And your solution is what? The US and Coalition exit Iraq, while acts of Islamic terrorism persist and continue unabated internationally? A return to status quo?

How about you explain, in detail, how Iraq is exactly like Vietnam for us in need of a history lesson there, phoenixhasrisin....

You are a bit harsh saying America is only interested in its on self-interest. Its true but EVERY country is only interested in its on self interest.
Even Canada

Very true, but America is very agressive in it's pursuits.

Your sarcasm is self-evident, but lets get something clear here:
Friends call me "seeker," phoenixhasrisen.
Out of respect for you as a member, I have maintained the sanctity of your name by continuing to refer to you as phoenixhasrisin, not phoenix, or any other abridged version. It would be greatly appreciated if you would refer to me by my online name: seekerof.
As to addressing your points that you claim to have raised, you have made two posts and your initial post prior to the one I am addressing now, had no legitimate points raised to be addressed other than what I did in my initial response to it, where it was I who posed the question to you.
