Then we go into Somalia, and I really don't have to get into it, we all know what happens. Good intentions, we don't understand the people, our boys die, we bail.

Now let's consider Iraq. Sure they don't like Saddam, but guess what? We invade, occupy, and they will like us even less. Hmmmmmmmmm....good intentions, don't understand......you get the drift.


Problem is, it won't be any of you dying, so it's pretty damn easy to be so gung-ho eh?

Exactly. Let's say China invades America and occupys it, good intentions and all. You think you're going to make China's stay in America easy?

These terrorists have support from the people, who are very devout muslims. So we must gain their support through religion.
