Has any one thought about the fact that we're fighting an unwinnable war? I know this sounds boderline treason but consider it. Over the course of the war US involvement has surged and most likely reached its peak as more and more US citizens call for the troops to be brought home. Why do they call for us to cut our losses? As the death toll rises President Bush assures us middle eastern violence is down and that the war on terror is succeeding. But even as the violence goes down the death toll goes up. While every war has its casualties it must have its victories. When was the last time a high ranking insurgent was captured? When was the last major attack discovered and stopped. Where are the WMD's we search for? The people need reassurance.
Beyond that could the obvious be true? Could it be that it doesn't only appear that Operation: Iraqi Freedom is failing? If what President Bush tells us is true and we are truly fighting in the middle east to free opressed people; conside our goal. We are trying to create a stabelized government, to create order in the midst of chaos. Now consider the goal of the opposition. They wish to keep their world how it is and we are in their world, they're the home team. They are disrupting the peace we are trying to create. They seek to destroy, we seek to build. Forgive my direct metaphor but it took 5 years to build the World Trade Center, but it took 1 day to destroy it. We are fighting people with nothing to lose and who fight an easier fight. We're playing their game. It makes about as much sense as Michael Jordan playing baseball.
