Does anyone EVER win a war? People die no matter what side they are fighting on, lives are destroyed along with towns and cities. Why put fear in people for no reason.
Yes I know about September 11, that's not the point, the point is that the war will never end if President Bush sits on his throne and commands for more troops to be sent to Iraq to control their country. Give them the peace they ask for and see what happens. They are only going to hate the US more and more, getting out of their country might lessen that hate a little bit.
How would Bush like it if that happened to the US? Imagine the outrage. I am from Australia and we are dragged into this war for the only reason that PM Howard loves President Bush. We are sending more of our troops to Iraq, and for what?
The US needs to realise they are not the only country in the world and what they do effects everyone else.
No one will win the war. No one ever does.

Actually George Bush is a student of history and has a degree in history. If you were around back then you would realize that we won every military battle in Viet Nam and only lost when the weak-kneed people in congress started to withdraw support and funding.
The only way this can become like Viet Nam is if these people in congress now do the same foolish thing.
The president is commander in chief. Congressmen are NOT and if you would read a little history and maybe the constitution you would realize that the founding fathers designed it that way because they realized that it takes a leader to guide us through a war, not a committee and so designated the president to be in charge of the military, not the congress.
Bush is brave by keeping us in this war even though it is not popular. We don't get to vote on wars. It's the presidents job.

Well, in many respects, it does resemble the Viet Nam war. We have politicians that have placed their political career before the well being of the troops or the country. Many Democrats, including Hillary, requested troop increases in the past but now that the President is sending more troops - they're against the plan. We have politicians calling the troops, "...stupid", but claiming they support the troops. How many people have you supported that you called stupid?
The war in Iraq can be won if the military is allowed to do its job without the Monday morning quarterbacking that is prevalent today. That and resolutions from Congress that only empower the terrorists. Ask yourself, why have so many members of the party of Democrats invested so heavily in "losing" the war in Iraq?
Especially after most of them voted to proceed with war?
A loss in Iraq will have terrible consequences for many years and the US will pay dearly for defeat. 9-1-1 will be compared to a Sunday picnic.

Well philosophically speaking, i think the question has many answers....on the one hand, the 4th largest army in the world was well nigh eradicated--so neil is correct; the occupation is not a conflict made for mobile armies fighting insurgents from Iran and other Arab countries; the civil war between the Shites and Sunnie maintains the violence...so in answer to your question, the war was won, but the occupation has become a bottomless mire....so what the problem is (philosophically speaking of course)?

I think we will leave with unfinished business. The president or whoever's talking won't call it a loss though. They'll probably just say that we have made a point and have put a dent in terrorism as a whole. Also that terrorism is not something that can be completely eradicated due to the fact that it is so spread out all over the world and has no real leader.

The only things you will win is a good place in hell maybe... Just a question : Since 1945 USA never stop to make war somewhere, are'nt you tired ? I am sure there must be americans who don't agree with that permanent agressivity... The only purpose of americans seems to be money... When there will be nothing left will you eat your money ? Don't you think it would be time to start being a little civilazed ?

We have laready lost. Do not look militarily for the result. We can nuke anyone out of existance. The world now looks at the US as a regoue nation, and many people think of Bush as the greatest terrorist since the monsters in the 1940s.

The war has been over for 4 years; what are you talking about?
Apparently even notoriously liberal university news outlets have referred to "post-war Iraq" as eary as April of 2003. (1) Or am I missing something?

by the mere act of going...we already lost. the military did an outstanding job in fleshing out a mirage war plan, hopefully they'll do just as well for this war's aftermath.

We are NOT at "war" in Iraq. We're fighting a culture that's defending itself from invaders. And we will continue to fight & die there- as long as we continue to Occupy their land- or we kill all of the 10 or 15 million people who live there.
