Post #147,737 by mmoffitt 3/23/04 9:10:42 AM Reply	Careful what you ask for. By various sources, the number of Muslims world wide is approaching 1.5 Billion (that's a "B"). You declare war on Islam and how many of those are going to remain "moderate"? All out war in the ME won't stay in the ME too long. And, as we have seen, these people are motivated by conviction. Conviction can't be bought. I'm not too sure at all that things would go the way you hope and/or expect. Unless of course, we use our nukes. But then, are we going to use them on ourselves when the war inevitably comes home? Supporting all out war in the ME is just-plain-dumb. bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"

What advantage? The only thing the US has is long supply lines. Edit: Remember the wise words: "well, after the biggest blunder: never start a land war in Asia." --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by jake123 March 23, 2004, 03:33:50 PM EST Expand All History
