America is not the bully, if not for dictators and savage radicals there would be no war.

tHE missing word is blame. sorry there . America loves to fight. She trained the the ones she fights against when where was a cold war. We talk about bullies and how ew hate their actions. America is a bully when it comes to war. I am glad I can''t raise my paw to serve as it is not my genger that stops me but my age and phy. handicaps that do. I am the daughter of a vet. We have no business forcing America''s way on any nation. I feel that way and have for years. America can''t govern herself let alone tell other nation what they will/won''t do in their nations .my people were put on ships in the 1840s and sent to America from Ireland headed to America. If it was not for that I be in Ireland and not in America.

It should be less not more troops. I HATE WAR today as I did years ago. I don''t the troops who serve but a govt that lies to us.
Let me make a point.
People don''t like the church shoved at them.
There are nations out there that don''t like America shoved at them. America wants her way or else. It has always been that way. Will be so.

All the rhetoric before the election of "immediately withdrawing" from the global war on terror was just that, it was a smart political move to appease the leftwing haters. Now that the election is over Obama will incorporate reality into his decision making and the effort to wipe out the scourge called Radical Islam, which is the direct cause of all the unrest in the modern world, will continue. Obama understands that actually fighting this enemy, which shows no allegiance to any specific country, will in the long run make America safer. It will send a clear message to the enemy that America will not cut and run, that this American president understands doing nothing has not worked as was exemplified by the 911 attack and the countless before over three decades.

just when the world is getting ready to have a new u.s. president we see a build-up in afganistan,and this is exactly the behavior that took the repub s out of power,i really hope obama gets good advice and gets out of afganistan right now,not in 2 or 3 years after several more thousands have died for absolutly nothing,there is nothing to gain in afganistan,leave those people alone,they dont want you to force feed them anymore b.s. democracy.

Zokin, It would be terrible if we go to all the expense of securing Afghanistan and running a pipeline from the Caspian to India, then Russia won%u2019t play ball. Surely Bush and Cheney have worked this out in advance.

[downtowner97]

We need to cut and run from Afghanistan and Iraq like Reagan did with Lebanon. We''re not wanted there, we''re not achieving our goals, we''ve re-invigorated the opium trade and we''ve done little or nothing to stabilize the country. The people of Afghanistan can do nothing to us if they can''t cross our borders. National security begins where our country ends, and the door''s wide open.
