I believe America lost in Vietnam because it's citizens support their troops (I pressume) but not ther leaders.
Who says we lost :) After all it wasn't our 'war', but just another bail out for a certain country :) :) :)Quote:

The leftist anti-war movement sponsered/encouraged by hmm what? Media...
But lets cut to the chase. When I say I don't support Bush, understand what I mean. I don't support his policies at all. Nor the weasel Clinton, nor Bush Sr (though he seemed slightly less moronic)....Regean I kinda liked at least you knew where you stood with him.
Let him have his opinion. Let him make it very clear. History will show what Bush's true intent is and I think there will soon be much stronger support of Bush.Quote:

Stronger support of Bush? I hope not :) I don't disagree with what he is doing in regards to Iraq. I disagree with a majority of his policies...Quote:

It seems like people are defending SH. Kurds and Shities can't be wrong can they? But that's again just my opinion ;)
Very good. I think that clarifies things. So you support what Bush, our government, our allies and the troops are doining in Iraq. I think that answers the question that aio had about how it is possible to support the troops but not Bush.Quote:

But if you ask him about chicken chop and girls, it would be a totally different matter; He is a supposedly acknowledged expert on these topics.:D
By that, do you mean the country of the many industrial companies that made a killing during Vietnam, the same ones who sponsored the elections of most of the warhawks of that period, and in which many of our senators and presidents had stock in? Maybe I've been studying the stock graphs of those time too much lately and reading to many conspiracy theories, but the correlation then was as surprising as it is today with Halliburton and WorldComm...Quote:

Well, I see Saddam Hussein much like I see many of the money-hungry leaders of our modern world. Even France and Germany seem to be taking their sides because of money. The whole world is just going into a feeding frenzy right now, and the poor ignorant people of the world who lack any education are being lead by their leaders into some outrageous positions. Let us not forget that the reason Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in the first placewas because Kuwait had for some time been cross-drilling down into Iraqi substrata and taking oil from Iroqi owned lands. Saddam even gave a series of ultimatum to Kuwaitis to cease their exploitation of his economy. I in no way support this guys actions, but it seems he did what the US would have done in a similar circumstance, and it at least explains his actions of destroying Kuwaiti fields in his retreat without any need to dehumanize the Saddam regime. The demonization (oh they're just evil I tell you, EVIL!!!) of any group of people is one of the worst consequences of war.Quote:

There is much to be said for settling things over a plate of chicken chop. As far as the girls are concerned...well I'll just keep my mouth (fingers) shut on that one...Gabrieal would be admonishing me faster than you can say...inflatable.Quote:

I think it is time of crisis that we need to support our leaders most, wether we like them or not. That way they only have (at least) to worry about the crisis.:cool:
I began to admire this Mr. Bush as I always admire a man that is so decisive. He does what he think is right (although I may disagree with what he believe is right) no matter what the implications might be in the next election. Unlike your former Mr. Clinton, capable only of controversial decisions at a time when he knows he won't (or can't) face election again.
;) ;) ;)

The thing now is : if Bush and his gang are all girls and Saddam Hussein is a cute middle-eastern babe too......aye~! All these wouldn't have happened. :):)Quote:

Anyway.....it seems that if you start any thread on the war in Iraq, it's gonna balloon into a giant. :D:D
Yes. Notice that I started this thread in response to your comments in the VC forum, which is not the appropriate place for such comments. You are certainly correct that the comments are likely to be numerous and making such comments in the VC forum means that either that forum gets a bunch of irrelevant comments or other people are inhibited from participating. Note that in a forum such as the VC forum other people are likely to resent off-topic comments such as these since they voluntarily choose to not participate but resent not being able to.Quote:

Anyway, I do really wish to invite and welcome folks who have never posted much in the General Discussion forum to do so.
This is da' place to lose all your ego, earn ego points occasionally, be darn, have a war once and now, be real childish and naive, be totally funny and such.
Remember : this forum is where gods become clowns and babies become kings. :cool:
