I agree completley.All peace is a result of war.
The bellyaching liberals/cowards think if we leave Iraq then the terrorists will just leave us alone.
As for people who compare this war to Vietnam.I think they are much the same.We came here to help these people and in turn help secure our safety.The Democrats won't let us do our jobs though so we can't win.
This war has not been fought hard enough we need to send a much stronger message to all terrorists and those who back them.Iran,Syria,Lebanon,Saudi Arabia,Pakistan,Afghanistan.They all have their filthy hands wrist deep in Iraq.
THese extremists only understand one thing and that is crushing force.It is them or us.Right now we have the power to win,but each day we allow them to grow stronger and soon we will lose our advantage.

Wars are started by the following:
Greed
Ignorance
Intollerance
Misunderstanding
The causes of war should not, therefore, be a cause for celebration, since they would fall into one of the above categories. War has been described as an extension of deplomacy. A more accurate statement would be that it occures when deplomacy fails.
Also, the people that fight the wars do not, nowadays, start them. I would probably have more respect for any poltician that stood in the front line to back up their rhetoric.
So to clarify my position. Although wars can be thought heroically and with brilliant moments on both sides, the causes are usually less noble and should not be celebrated at all. The only time that celebrations should begin is when the war ends.

What I wonder is if you understand the devastation of war, it goes beyond the destruction of buildings, many innocent people die. The old, the very young, men, woman, all dead because of a war based on lies of the leader. War should be saved for use only when every other means of negotiation has been exhausted. The Iraqi war in particular was a bad decision from an evil man for no purpose other then personal gain. It should have never happened.

Just remember that if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his @$$ when he walked.
"What if" goes on for ever.

The only people that understand the meaning of war is those that have lived through it like the people of Europe.Britain and Singapore that survived starvation and bombings in WW2 but that was to rid the world of Hitler the ultimate evil and no matter how people try to justify the killing of Saddam and the war in Iraq it is not the same.

I fail to see any connection between the meaning of war and how different some people's lives would be. I fail to see any logic here...

Is this a war advertisement ?
Without fighting any battle no one can understand the real meaning of war.

Our soldiers went into Iraq to find all those hidden weapons we thought they had, we didn't find them, so we should have called it a lost cause and gotten out of there! But that didn't happen, now we have a full fledged war.We wonder who created it? Could it have been prevented.? A lot of people seem to think so!

Some people deny the facts until they are "PEARL HARBORED".
Then, they bellyache all the way thru the war that it costs too much,being done wrong and even give aid to the enemy.
There is only one way to win,beat the enemy senseless,destroy his will to fight.

So what you're saying is that because *some* wars are worth fighting, that *all* wars are worth fighting. I fear that your proposition is not logically sound. I have a book suggestion in the link below. Check it out - you might find it very helpful.
