WhoIsDaffy; the US isn't getting anything kicked. They enemy may have been fighting for decades but blowing things up randomly with little reguard as to who they are actually blowing up doesn't do them well in the eyes of the locals.

77% of Afgans perfer haveing the Americans there over the Taliban. The US may aciddently destroy farmhouses, but Taliban fighters hide there in the hopes they get attacked in the first place. They hind behind women and children, fireing away the whole time, brave that. The Americans maybe young, but they don't fight like that.

Taliban and the extreamists will never recieve anything like world recognizion unless they do what the US had to do to win over other nations in the revolutionary war with Britian. Beat the British army in the field, on British terms. Today that means they will have to field tanks, massive infantry formations, fighters, bombers.

In otherwords, defeat a world superpower on the field of battle as a superpower. I dont see them being able to do that, it's why the current administration treats them like common criminals, it doesn't really see them as a major player. What do nukes have to do with anything? The US doesn't need to use those to wreck the extreamists dreams of a world caliphate.

War is hell, and it's the army's job to make sure hell visits the enemy, wherever they hide. The extreamists started it with the 3000 innocent victims on 911. Blameing the US because we drop bombs on extreamist's who hide in school buildings, after they blow up some hospital, is denying the truth. The extreamist's themselves are the problem. To not go after them beause they fight cowardly, is being negligent.

Despite that, you miss the point I'm makeing, war should allways be of last resort in that I agree whole heartedly, but if forced to make war, make it so terrible that no one wants to start another one.


Bush isn't president anymore, maybe you missed that. However,
I do agree with you about the Patriot act, it's very dangerous and few Americans realize how much freedom they will loose with it.
