Why was this thread moved?

I do not understand how this thread

http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2296716&enterthread=y

is for P&N?

Clearly it is a what if off-topic question with no relevance to politics or news.

You don't think wars are related to politics?

I'm not the mod who moved it, but I agree that it's more appropriate for P&N. Look at some possible up to date topics: what if we didn't go to war with Iraq, what if we had more servicemen in Iraq from the start, etc. Seems pretty obvious to me that even though these are "what if" threads, the discussion is going to center on political aspects. Ditto the Vietnam war.
