#1 Success CAN be achieved in Iraq - indeed probably would have been long ago - if the American people were united in will for it to be so. In my opinion the goals of the war would have been achieved without having the war at all if the civilized world (including Russia) had been united in wanting it to be so.

But because the civilized world has various motives a war ensued. And because Americans have various motives the war continues. And I fear it will continue along the path of Vietnam - not because it HAD TO, but because that's the way too many Americans WANT IT TO.

#3 Hey, Kahlileezad

why don't you get 4 teams of hijackers, hijack 4 planes, crash them into buildings in Bagdad, kill all sorts of (more) civilians (who aren't innocent civilians anyway) incinerate as many in one day as you can, get the Media to present your ass as the innocent victim here, and thats so sad, and impeialism, and colonialism, and we don't have human rights, and we're torture victims.

Get your hands on more opium, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine, and get a phafwah from the imam that you can do drugs, kill men women and children, all in the name of Islasm. and and...

I think that ought to work for you.

No, no thanks is neccessary,
I mainly got the idea from Islasmic history anyway
