It took ten long years and 55,000 dead US soldiers to finally take the arrogance out of US at the end of the Vietnam war and it's taken the Neo Cons about 25 years to get everyone to forget all the lessons we learned from the Vietnam war and bring back that ********* that has lead to the Iraq mess and most of the world despising the US. As long as there are Neo Conservatives in US Govt., a Newt Gingrich, Dick Chenny, a Fox News channel and an AEI, that ********* will never stop.

With out war we would have never become this great Country Called the United States Of America, You would be in one of these other countries probably a slave or who knows what. If we had lost the very first war we were in we would be ruled under the British still.
I'm not knocking the Brits but come people with out our country showing that we have a great military and showing we have the money and resources to back up our talk we would have a country just like that of the rest of the world we would have suicide bombers walking into our stores full of citizens your family and killing as many people that were there shopping for all the expensive crap that we think we have earned the right to have in our houses....We would have armed men walking the streets taking what ever they want as in your personal belongings that you just survived a suicide bomber to get oh and I'm not talking about these stupid little gang bangers like in South central Los Angelas.......
Wake up people your freedom comes at a price whether you like it or not if we have to show our strength by getting involved in someone Else's fight then that's what it takes......Wake up and smell the gun powder burning your nose if you don't like what we as a country have to do to keep our freedom then get the F U C K out

I have learned one thing over the Iraq quagmire. Politicians should never, ever be allowed to direct a wartime effort. Donald Rumsfeld, under the play calling of GWB have made a debacle of Iraq.
The US has the most powerful military in the world, yet 90% of it is sitting and waiting for something bigger to happen. If need be, it's time to rekindle our military manufacturing complex, and start throwing some serious US capability at these swine. If flattening Baghdad, Damascus and Tehran in order to bring this thing to an end, is what it will take, than I say, GO FOR IT!
Do I sound like a war monger? Not at all, the war mongers are the one's who started it, to begin with. I'm a peace monger, and I believe we can have peace without another American mother having to bury a son or daughter.

Comparing Iraq and Vietnam is intellectual laziness. BTW, we did kick their butt, the insurgents are what are giving us trouble. We could settle that quickly but the people incharge are more worried about being popular instead of finishing the job and getting our guys out.

Nope I dont think we have learnt anything from Iraq because US is a war country and it has been constantly at war since it has been created. If one day it stopped going to war coorporations such as Haliburton etc. will have huge losses. I mean US spends 500 Billion dollars a year on military, which is about half of the world's spending on military. Its not just being cocky its much more complicated than that.

One has to have self respect. Any psychologist will tell you that. We will not cut and run in Iraq like the people made us do in Vietnam, a war poorly managed by an idiot Democrat who should never have been president.

Sadly, no, America will never learn, and while they are told, oft and oft again, the White House kisses the ar se of the arms dealersa, who want wars, but not with their own sons and daughters there.

Its a lost lesson. Most Americans are too arrogant to learn the lesson.
