I think it is awfully difficult to subdue a middle eastern country without being awfully ruthless.

Statements like this really bother me. Its alright to admit our goal is to subdue, because its an innocuous word for sticking a gun in someone's face and telling them what to do. Its a joke to anyone who actually believes in freedom that this is an acceptable way to act .

I am against the war in Iraq. I was just responding to the other poster saying that we could win if we were tougher. I am agreeing that it is difficult to take control of a mideastern country by gentle means, but that is partly why the whole project is impossible.

Sorry, we are not subduing Iraq but building democracy. War is peace, freedom is slavery, truth is lies.

Hey, all we need to do to solve all these problems is to declare a war on violence. If we are ruthless enough i think we can win that one.
