I wonder how long it will take the military to wipe out all the terrorism sponsored by Middle Eastern nations. May as well take care of all of them since we're over there.

We can't. We can invade a country and install a government that is favorable to us, but the general population that will hate us more and be even more driven to take action against us. The problem with terrorism is it isn't government run activity in most cases, and traditional warfare doesn't have much effect on a regular civilian who decides to take it into his own hands to attack us for religous or other reasons.

Seems the majority of Iraqi's are very happy we are there, lets hope we can turn rule over to them and get out of the way while those good feelings are still there...

You all do know that us americans have caused the most deaths in world either directly or indirectly since the beginning of time? If thats the reason we are in iraq we better hide cause the whole worlds gonna be on our ASS!!
if you even care check out the 1994 U.S. Department of Energy document, in ww2 we were responsible for over 7,000,000 civilian deaths thats counting hiroshima and Nagasaki.
do you udnerstand that?
that is a MILLION!! times more then the combined total of people who are listed on the side of that boat.
War is ugly and fing disgusting lets not sugar coat witha chivalrous bravado.
Wars have been here since the beginning of "humanity", they have changed the face of the earth many times over, they are sadly part of life. But lets NEVER confuse ourselves into thinking that the killing of people can ever have ANY positive aspect or reason.

read something like that, helps put a anem and face with the 7,000,000 people we fire bombed and nuked
how can u make light of something so sad?
I guess we will never understand until it REALLY hits home.
we think 3,000 is bad? lets see what the future holds. My parents live in DC, if anything happens to them I will always blame us and nobody else in my heart.
