Question

Does the war in Iraq bring back memories of boring history lessons of the revolutionary war. A strong empire with there fancy red coats and well trained soldiers. The super power of the 18th century lost that war and it was the birth of a new super power the United States of America. It has been said that history repeats it self and it hard to shake this feeling of deadly déjà vu. Our pride and over confidence will surely be our downfall and though we may not wear red coat our methods may be just as obvious to men and women in the middle east that are not held by tradition and policy. It is ignorant to attempt to combat an Idea like terrorism and this war on terrorism is doomed to fail. Terrorism hides behind rocks and trees and kills our soldiers and civilians without warning. One day Iraqi children will dose off in class as there teacher lectures on about the ignorance of a country that was blinded by its power so badly that they couldn’t see that they were quickly becoming the punch line to political jokes. It is time to get out this. It is not a war that can be won. I don’t believe anyone really learns from history but if they if our leaders were smart enough to look back across the sands of time they would realize that this is not our fight. The fight in the middle east is not one that America needs to police. It is not our problem. We don’t understand the determination that comes with faith. Because we have traded ours for plasma TVs and SUVs and WMDs. What is the answer now that we were lead blindly into a fight we can not win. Suck it up and admit that we have lost. Fold the losing hand and cut our loses. Then spend the remainder of our chip stack on defending ourselves. Because after the bully takes a punch in the face every pimple faced wimp wants a piece of him. It will come but if fight until we cant fight anymore we will surely be destroyed

mark you add another point to how this war is similar to the Revolutionary war. Britian was attempting to get its hand on the money that was sure to be found in the new world just as bush hopes to find money in the oil fields of iraq

Answer 1

This same analogy could have been applied to Vietnam. This was is far from over however. Iraq is just another battlefield in radical Islam's global war against non-radical Muslims. If we quit now it only gives them the momentum. We need to show that we have the determination to stand up to these vile humans. This, like the Revolutionary war, is a war of endurance. You sir, have no endurance or determination to win. You want this country to fail so that you can throw it in Bush's face. I thank God everyday that the people who are in charge of this country do not think like you.

Answer 2

Its the war of lobbies based on their interests the war of the rich to get richer.The USA to day is made of Interest groups who care for their interests rather than a national interests.Iraq war is Israeli lobby war along with some weapon companies and some hillbillies who want to keep the holly land a war zone to bring back sooner Christ they are playing God role in the USA.

Answer 3

Not exactly the best analogy, historically speaking. Good thoughts, but it is all theoretical. Our downfall will not be from the outside, if one was to draw analysis from history, it would be internal. the best comparison would be the Roman Republic & Empire.

Answer 4

Right on - the Bush crime family got too greedy and we will be paying for it for years to come. Hanging isn't good enough for those bastards!
