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?

Answer carefully...

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.
