Many as in how many? The American military can absolutely crush the country if it wants to, without even touching our nuclear stockpile. Do you actually believe our military is out to kill people for no good reason at all and only came away with (exaggerated) 655,000 body count in almost 4 years, by your numbers?

On the contrary, our military cares a great deal about civilians. It's those "civilians" with guns pointed at our guys that upset them.

Yes, that's how they stay alive there.

Yes, and that's how we control a bunch of people trained to kill. Military training is the way it is for a good reason. You don't want to let loose a bunch of trained professional killers into the general population without instilling some kind of dicipline and sense of honor and duty into them.

Good for you.
Do you also oppose Operation Desert Fox and Operation Allied Force? Do you also believe that we should pull our guys out of former Yugoslavia as it serves no purpose whatsoever to our national security?

Yes and no. We do want Iraq to be our ally. But not for immediate financial gains. If Iraq becomes a democracy and friendly to the west, we can do business with them.

1) Weapons of Mass Destruction (Mistake, or more accurately A LIE!)
2) To Decrease Terrorism (Totally ludicrous considering the amount of deaths)
Just to show that I'm not making figures up:

Ah so the Bush hater comes out. That took a few posts but I got the result I wanted. A leftist socialist commie hippie tree hugger like you act too much on emotion and too little on logic. Sooner or later you slip up and the hatred comes out.
