Ricardo, sometime you say the most ignorant things for being so
intelligent...
The US never had a goal of 'taking over Viet Nam' or Iraq for that
matter.
Let's imagine that the US did want to 'take over' a country -- that was
the number one mission - do you doubt we have the power to execute that
mission?

Gee, if you are correct about the Geneva convention responsibility then
the US can't just up and quite Afghanistan or Iraq. I wonder if the
liberals in our country have taken that into consideration?

Geneva convention which the US is a signatory to says that if you go and
screw up a country in war you have to look after it and get it to a
stable position afterwards, hence the rebuilding of Germany and Japan
after WWII.
So what McCain is saying is basically... The coalition did this in
Afghanistan but everyone else should help pay for it to be cleared
up....

Just heard this. Well I know that the U.S. would probably bear the most
burden on this measure, given the history in Iraq for sure.
Tell me: why must non-Afghan's pay for the increase of Afghanistan's=20
army to 160,000 (instead of the current 80,000)? To my knowledge, no=20
one pays for our army? Let's send food and health aid, but that's where
the dollars should stop, imo.

Now that is funny. We went into Iraq under the guise of it is better
to get them there then they come over here. You think that for some
reason we would NOT take advantage of the HUGE oil potential that was
there? You have to be kidding me and yourself. It is the American
way. We do not care one iota about people when there are potential
profits to be made. Does outsource dome to mind?
I am sure that or VP Dickless was hoping to Imperialize the country
and get taxes on barrels of oil as a rebuilding surcharge, where we
were not bringing them back to the stone age they were in before the
invasion. No we were going to take the country to standard western
civilization standards, all with the help of his friends companies.
wink wink wink.
This also took the heat off of finding that bin Laden guy.

Stephen is right. The Republicans, Democrats, and the president ALL wanted
to go "OVER THERE" and get them before they came over here. And, we've had
how many terrorist attacks since 9/11? There have been several attempts, but
they got no bananas. Since we had to spend so much money to go over there,
they owe us. It's only fitting that we assimilate their country and make
them indentured servants for 7 years, and a few billion barrels of oil.<G>

There is no doubt that we have the power to destroy just about any
country. But take it over? That means getting the people of the
country to accept our authority. I haven't met a group of people yet
that will not resist a foreign power taking over their land.

I think us trying to impose/push our way of life to others outside of

Tip.... toe....... verrrrry carrrrefullly, my precioussss.
You'd take the place, but you are being naif. There is no big treasure
to be stolen in a couple of hours. You have to KEEP the bloody place for
years in order to be able to steal enough to justify the taking. And
THAT's where you suck at it. Your ass was kicked in VN and it's being
kicked in Afghanistan (from the point of view of making some profit out
of the bloody mess), and they will eventually expel you just like VC did.
