That's pretty much all you can do... I heard something about America making a deal with Mexico that they would send us back if there was ever a draft... probably bullshit though.

I think Canada may not let you stay either. Vietnam was a one time thing. I think they would not want to interfere. This isn't the 60's and Vietnam wasn't a 'War On Terror'. Many things have changed.

This is just my opinion and I wanted to get it out in the open and see if anybody else feels the same way I do. I am so tired of Bush keeping our troops over in Iraq for no reason. We should not be over there at all. They randomly bomb us for no reason and they torture our soldiers when we give their prisoners of war a fucking bed to lay on, food to eat, and a damn roof over their heads. Why should we try to help them when it's obvious they don't want it. Bush's first statement before being re elected was that he would not start a draft. What is the first fucking thing he did when he got in office. Started a draft, and whats worse is he sent the reserves in first!!!!
All this war is about is damn oil. We need to pull our troops out and get them back home where they need to be.
And last, but definetly not least. What is up with Americas Security?? Why in the hell did Bush fly Osamas family out of the states??? He should have left them here and let whatever happens happen. I mean, did the people in Florida who were training these suicide bombers not notice that these fuckers didn't want to learn how to land an airplane or learn how to take off??? Something is seriously wrong here, and it really pisses me off. I don't see all the top dollar people out there giving their lives for a cause that has no purpose. They run and hide and send the little men in to do the dirty work.
Well, I'm through...............like I said, that is just my opinion and ya'll are more than welcome to give me your outlooks on the whole situation.

Couldnt have regurgitated Fahrenheit 9/11 better myself.

I do agree that what THAT GROUP of soldiers did was wrong, but you don't see US soldiers putting beheadings on the internet for everyone to see. One of the rules of war is to not torture your POWs, but Al Queda, or whoever just randomly takes a US citiczen or a citizen of another nation and beheads them on the internet. Now that is breaking the rules of war and that is so fucking wrong to begin with.

Only THAT GROUP of Al Quadia (sp?) did the beheadings. Cant judge all of them. US didnt put beheadings on the internet, but where do you think the poster got that pic from?

What you seem to be forgeting is that these people are not an official army. They belong to no government. They are bound by no rules of war. They're fanatics. They don't care what happens. They just want us to leave at any cost.

Very obssessively commited to their world view and/or religion, so much that they believe to be the only righteous.


Hmmm...sounds like another group I know, save they don't have the fire power.

War is evil. But at times, it can be a NESSESARY EVIL. Had the U.S. forces not intervened in WWII, there's no telling what the final death toll would have been. Moreover, we would most likely still have a very real threat to our civilization in the form of the Third Reich.

I hate people who don't believe in war. So war didn't fix communism, nazism, slavery, and many other things in history?
It didn't gain us freedom from England 230 years ago?

There will always be bloodshed, there will always be strife. . .and there will always be those who, right or wrong, fight to see an end to it.

War is not human nature. It's just NATURE, plain and simple. And none of our advances, sensibilities, or delusions of superiority can ever change that. Like it or not, it's the way of the world. And there is no end in sight.
