It's an interesting read, but I certainly don't agree with most of it:

I just hope that most people in the UK feel differently.

Screw the idiot liberals in other countries who think they can understand our government and criticize it while still being puzzled as to why we are so powerful and we kicked their ass in previous wars.

And as the war crimes accumulated, the NVA and VC became only more confirmed in their hatred of America, and in their determination to defeat her.
Which they did, hands down.

Yup, they knocked down two buildings and bumped another and we're defeated hands down? Then why are we flying about 1000 times as many American flags than we used to??

 

<< Dubya's vague war on evildoers will be grotesquely expensive and everlasting. It will lead the United States into alliances of the most unholy variety and further soil its already sketchy international reputation; it will exhaust good will among her Islamic allies; and it will involve attacks on sovereign nations. >>



Bingo!

brxndxn: I don't see how you say its "idiot liberals", there are many conservatives I speak to that would agree to many points made in this article.

The US has caused many problems in the past, and has made many empty promises, this whole military action is bad news.

Please. Perfection is an ideal, not a reality.

Just what action would you recommend, oh wise one?

SammySon, what the hell should the US do?! Oh I forgot, liberals can point out the problems but lack solutions.

Sammyson,

If I were to believe all the pacifistic rhetoric I read that comes from the UK, the US would be Ancient Rome, doomed to fall into its own cultural abyss. This is someones pull on their belief we will eventually fall into a vietnam-like scenario. One is only doomed to repeat ones history, if one forgets or doesnt learn from its mistakes. The U.S. has shown time and time again that it has learned from the lumps we've taken in previous police actions, skirmishes and wars. I do not believe we are overreacting by empowering our government with limitless restrictions on foreign policy for the time being. I believe once our country gets a complete handle on our current security situation and adjusts our current foreign policy to empower itself to fight the threat we now all face, that it will regulate the current unrestricted power given to our foreign policy department to a more acceptable level.

Its sad to see someone feed off their own rhetoric, its like he's talking to himself and not to the reader.
