Like all the "War on ..." sound bites, how > can they ever be won? They never can of course. So the USA has set itself up for yet another failed war. In fact it currently seems to be having precisely the reverse effect of that intended. Of course, as long as the USA feels safe it reckons it's winning. Idiots ! Graham

I am however intruiged how Americancs invariably bring out the hate word the very second even the tiniest criticism is voiced against them. It's not hate at all, more like despair at the crass stupidity of your governmemnt and the ppl who elected them. > and makes up things to support that need.

He believes that > the UK and Russia defeated Germany with little need for US assistance. The USA was around 3 years late to the party of course. I have little doubt that Russia would have eventually defeated Germany anyway. Germany could certainly never ever have defeated Russia, the numbers simply aren't even remotely credible. Graham

Try to keep informed. Which writings are they? Which Islamic Terrorist movement are you referring to? Or do you lump them all in as one? Are you able to see the difference between terrorist organisations? Is the "war" on terror a war against all terrorist organisations or just the Islamic ones which have targeted the US? |
