There have been other wars also but they generally are not talked about frequently
Why?

Simple.. To gain never ending control over the world and make Defense/military as source of economy.

Other wars are lost in history. History seems to be weak spot in our culture. These wars today will be a blip on the map 50 years from now.

Controversial wars are what make countries into superpowers. Ever heard of the American Revolution?

The Superpowers need a place to get rid of the old weapons to make new ones.

Well I support the attack of Afghanistan. Terrorists can not opperate very effectively without the support of countries. The Taliban allow Bin Laden to operate in their country. I do not feel a bit sorry for the death of Afghans. Hit back and when you hit back, hit them hard.

The real superpowers are Switzerland and Sweden, all the other governments are unsuccessful puppets of them.

Because sometimes you do what is right, not what is well liked. Americans and Europeans were opposed to WWI and WWII as well, but the governments did what they believed had to be done.

To anthonlyha -- Who are you to condemn all Afghanistans!? We don't condemn all Americans because of Bush and his cronies. Who are you to claim Afgan lives are worthless? What a jerk.

Little countries have little wars,if we realy had a news system we would know about it,we get news bites after the game.We are the big bully on the block,We will fight and die and kill untill we run out or money or those willing to die.When China gets bigger we will need to fight them,if we still have money or any men left.Why you got a problem with that?
