The war in Afghanistan and Iraq will never ever end unless US pullout like they did in Vietnam. Do you agree?

Question

Speaking as someone who grew up in Liberia, West Africa, Civil War survivor. And you can be sure of that.

Answer 1

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. You can believe all the hype and BS out of Washington by the buffoons and snake oil sellers running this snafu, or you can look at history. There has only been one, and I repeat, ONE insurgency that has ever been but down by military might, if you do not count the Bay of Pigs, and that was of the Khmer Rouge by the North Vietnamese Regulars. the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka have been fighting 25 years. The only thing that slowed them down was a tsunami. and not even that crushed them. So, to the question if rebels, insurgents, or terrorist, whatever you want to call them, replace those they loose. You tell me? They do not have 50 and 70 year old insurgents. FARC in South America has been fighting more than 17year. Have not been beaten. The Mujaheddin stalled the Soviets in Afghanistan for more than 12 year and sent the mighty soviet army packing, Same as the Viet Cong sent Uncle Sam packing. The IRA in the UK decided to lay their arms down. They were not made to do it. And the French Resistance of WWII would have fought on for years if the war had not ended the Nazi regime. So you tell me? where has military might EVER gotten rid of insurgents? Maybe some deep dark corner of Sub Saharan Africa where no one plays attention, but certainly not where the press has been lookingFact from fiction, truth from diction.

Uncle Sam does not want educated Arabs. they might finally get smart and see all this "I love you" crap is only when the oil is flowing and Israel is not involved. If Israel is in the mix, all other Arabs even Yemen and Saudi boot lickers are on their own.

Answer 2

Eventually yes but for the moment what is needed is more US involvement.If you start a mission you must finish it.America should not have gone there in the first place but now that it is there it must do the Job right.If America pulls out of Afghanistan now the Taliban will come back.If it pulls from Iraq now civil war will erupt with un predicted consequences.

Answer 3

united statesa. is it somewhat is very own worst enemy whilst it is composed of Wars like Vietnam and Iraq. whilst the U. S. protection rigidity may well be waiting to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, the 'enemy' at house is a lot greater resilient. somewhat, what it comes all the way down to is that the u . s . a . is, at coronary heart, an isolationist united states of america. it somewhat is been compelled - basically approximately consistently, because WWII - to contain itself in worldwide politics, yet, finally, the yankee human beings do no longer in hassle-free terms like the involvement, do no longer help politicians with intent rules in direction of that involvement, and finally end up in bungled wars like Iraq, the place there is not any victory available, no longer because of the fact the enemy is physically powerful or the protection rigidity vulnerable, yet because of the fact the decide directly to victory of yankee 'hawks' is constantly much less helpful than the decide directly to defeat of it somewhat is 'doves.' Doves faucet the isolationist dispositions of the yankee human beings, so no conflict can final long. contained in the previous, blatant assaults, like Pearl Harbor have been sufficient to overcome those isolationist and defeatist dispositions. right this moment, as we are seeing, even the deaths of hundreds of human beings on American soil on the arms of a dispicable enemy at the instant are not sufficient to drown out the siren call of isolationism. i assume you may verify out it as a illness contained in the political gadget: united statesa.'s leaders can not rigidity thier human beings to combat protracted unpopular wars, so as that they won't be able to 'win' such wars.

Answer 4

No, quitting is the only way we can lose. Just like Vietnam. Besides, the fact that we're fighting them in the streets of Baghdad and Kabul instead of New York and Washington is a victory in and of itself.

Answer 5

If they pull out there will be civil war. I dont think there is a good answer to the question. Total removal of weapons would help along with a really strong police force.

Answer 6

Being a Viet Nam vet I do agree with the statement. It seems we are in a mess with no logical way out. Just this weekend Gen Pace, commander of the Joint Chief of staff stated we are going to have to give amnesty to killers of americans to get any type of settlement in Iraq.

Answer 7

yes i agree with you on , ths. the us should now pull out the troops in these countries , and do not wait to reach tje KIA at 58,000 like in vietnam, before pullout with a humiliating face of defeat in a third world country.

Answer 8

Do you know what happened when we pulled out of Nam, because of thinking like yours?

Millions and millions were slaughtered in Nam, Cambodia, and that area.

Answer 9

I agree. Or untill Pres. Bush has to get out of the White House and the next pres. takes over

Answer 10

only one problem... we are over there keeping the war there... if we leave .. the war will spill over into america... having our troops there keeps the war there... or would you rather have a war at home?
