If you got your impressions from John Wayne movies and representations of Audie Murphy, that would explain your inability to comprehend and discern fact from fiction.

It''s regrettable to learn that America is no longer in the business of educating it''s society - not historically or classically.

You know, I liked watching John Wayne movies and Audie Murphy when I was kid. The %u201CGood Guyz%u201D would always win! I like sports, but this is not a football game. There are no clear colors even on the side of the United States that invaded a sovereign country that was under UN sanctions, had no air force and a depleted army.

Even with the fact that Saddam Hussein didn%u2019t have weapons of mass destruction, if the US could%u2019ve secured this campaign successfully a few years ago, I would support the effort. During WWII the allies had one fully equipped and supported soldier for every 35 to 40 civilians in Germany. In Iraq the US would%u2019ve needed 250,000 troops to properly secure just the City of Bagdad.

There were never (and, still isn%u2019t) enough troops on the ground, they didn%u2019t have all the necessary equipment and training to control the population, the US disbanded the Iraqi military turning them into the armed insurgency, and through mismanagement and corruption $billions of dollars have gone to fund the opposition.

If the Republicans want a warrior state society they could at least do the job right.

Go team!

Mattcat25, where where you when Saddam was routinely pulling people off the street, and raping them, incarcerating them and killing them at will? The US actions to eliminate one of the most evil and dangerous tyrants of our generation has made the free world and the U.S. safer. Had he had remained in power and with his near-unlimited oil wealth,he would have the capability to do whatever horrendous deeds he desired.

War is sick, and people that display an affinity for war and work themselves up into war frenzy could be identified with being Ill.

Well shut my mouth. Tell it to the Founders that separated from England. Tell it to the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War. Tell it to the Dough Boys and the GI''s in the Pacific. Tell it especially to the families of the 9/11 victims. You are a fool to assume like Neville Chamberlain that there are people out there that can be pacified. Like I said, it''s pointless to educate you.

It%u2019s pointless to attack me personally, this is a common tactic from people that don%u2019t like what they read, hear, or see.

"Then you are the victim of an inadequate education and, hence, faulty thinking."

Mud, would you like to elaborate on my education?
Or, would you like to explain the Republican War Passion?

The more relevant question to ask McCain & all those who enabled Bush''s war, is ''why are we there?" It certainly had NOTHING to do with 911? So then why? And With every single reason for invading Iraq, now gone up in smoke, why are we there & why should we remain there?
And what''s become of Osama or does he even matter to these warmongers?

Why would McCain imagine that Iraq will ever be like Japan or Korea? Because he chooses to be ignorant of the vast factional differences of the people in the ME. It will never be like the homogeneous people of Japan or Korea, and will most likely always be a dangerous place for Americans to live.
