What happened to the days where when someone messed w/ America or her allies, the US would hit back harder? In WW2, we went and leveled city after city not worrying about civillian casualties and there wasnt even an attack towards our civillians (you could say Pearl Harbor, but that wasnt directed at civillians).
Like Iraq, the mission going in was to take care of the Saddam threat; after the US accomplished that, the mission turned to helping the Iraqis? What is that about? Now the government realizes that Al Qeuda is in Iraq (dont argue about it, even if its not on a large scale; they are there) along w/ other enemies of the US.
So why not go through and bomb everything (everything outside the green zones) back to the Stone Age? Are civillians of some rag tag country worth the lives of US Troops? Im all for the US protecting the US or allies of the US, but why the Hell put American lives at risk to save people in a country weve invaded twice in the past 20 years?
