Yes, my outlook is that we shouldn't have a war unless we have too. In the case of Iraq, if the justification for war was WMD, the war was unjustified. If the justification for war was to spread democracy, then maybe it was justified, but that's not how it was sold therefore the execution was bound to be sub-optimal. Read that as more dead and wounded than necessary. Yes, the troops did a great job. They should - we trained them to. Case closed. The question, though, is should they have been there in the first place? You seem to be mixing up the decision of going to war versus the decisions made in fighting a war. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:148686 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
