Why do some have deep aversion to achieving absolute victory against our enemies like we did in WW2?

Answer 1

Democrats established martial law after the sneak attack.

Republicans established the Patriot act, which in spite of propaganda is more constitutional than the RICO act.

I like the way that George Bush handled the war on terror so far. It is a much better move than declaring martial law, rationing and dropping nuclear weapons the way the Dem's did.

Controlled specific response without going to war against the rest of the world the way Dems did.

Answer 2

I do not have an aversion to victory, but our enemies in the war on terror are less clearly defined. They do not wear uniforms and, we are not fighting a specific government but, rather an ideology. As far as Iraq is concerned we have achieved a majority of our stated goals. Ridding the world of Saddam Hussein, establishing a democratic government, the only one that has yet to be achieved is training of an Iraqi police and, military that can defend itself once we draw back but we will never know if that has been accomplished until we do drawback and, allow them to assume combat roles.

Answer 3

In World War II, we had clear enemies that consisted of major industrialized countries whose armies we could defeat and whose infrastructure we could destroy.

The current effort to defeat certain groups of terrorists obviously requires a different approach but the current administration seems to be unable to devise an effective and intelligent approach to the problem.

Al Qaeda was the organization accused of perpetrating 9/11. Invading Iraq, for instance, and opening it up to terrorists has only helped the terrorists and harmed us.

Answer 4

I am not sure how to answer, but will try anyway. first two world wars and vietnam were considered self defense wars, people actually believed the government officials when they said these countries were communist and out to destroy america anyway they could. americans actually thought they were attacked by the enemy and that war was only in self defense.

now people know better, they know they were duped into the other wars, that governments have lied so many times in the past that faith in them is gone (except for a few die hards). they know those wars were actually for teh sake of the corporations and that the lies told was to get people to back the war to think they were acting in self defense.

but now they know they were lied to big time on purpose about iraq, the united nations is getting more powerful and has proved to be just another greedy resource grabbing entity whose sole objective is world domination and not world peace.

they know they are being duped about the whole objective of wars, and laws and taxation that is supposed to be for the benefit of americans and not corporations when in fact the it is all black propaganda.

and with the internet it is now being brought out information that is censored by the news media, about what the constitution really is about and what is really going on and what the real agenda of the us britian, other industrilized nations and the united nations really is, and it has people scared and angry. and knowing all this and seeing with their own eyes the misery of war and the fact that it is innocent men woman and children being slaughtered for the sake of empire building it makes people disgusted and not ready to jump up and shout with joy. before they thought they were winning against being invaded and destroyed, so people naturally jumped for joy when america won the wars of 1 and 2. but now the playing field is more open and people are starting to see what wars of past/now are really about and it saddens and angers people .

Answer 5

Gen 'Stormin Norman' was about to achieve absolute victory in Gulf 1 when the the authorities stopped him because they they didn't like the photos of his defeated enemies.
I think the fundamental problem is that many people here resent what is wrong with their own country so much that they want it to fail when tested against its enemies. A sort of misguided, adolescent wish for revenge against their olders and betters?

Answer 6

We don't you f**ing idiot. Its just that terrorism is a tactic not a real type of war. The war in Iraq was a useless diversion that has made us less secure. There is an enemy in Al-Queda, but it is not a physical govt entity. It is a extremist movement. Thus, we can't have a full blown war against it. If we are following your logic then how come the war on terror hasn't included Right Wing extremist terror groups here in the States. You know why, they fund your idiot party.

Answer 7

It's not a matter of just achieving victory of our enemies.
Our enemies are not located in one country. They are actually here. We don't have just one country to go after.
Most of Ameicans and the world were united in going after Bin Laden.
We side tracked to Iraq and lost support and respect.

Answer 8

I think it has to do with the disease called liberalism. It is a huge mental disorder.

Answer 9

Because of the state of our media. They deem themselves "world citizens" before Americans. The New York Times would be tried for treason if they had done in WWII what they lazily get away with today.

Answer 10

THE LIBERALS JUST HATE THIS COUNTRY. THEY WOULD RATHER SEE US LOSE THAN ACHIEVE TOTAL VICTORY.
