Even the most delusional on this board probably believe in the Law of Gravity. Yeah. I know. It will be repealed, but only for the delusional who are expecting to be raptured up out of this mess.

Man, when are you going to stop reading those islammofacist loving, freedom hating websites? We all know that with Jesus W. Bush in charge there is no possible way that this thing can wrong. Great minds such as Oil-slick-dick Cheney, and ole' Rummy, and even Condi "I have an oil tanker named after me" Rice have been on this thing for years now.
Now nevermind that this war is now longer than WWII and WWI, that's just more islamofacist america-hating talk. What we need is for all you secular progressives to get on board and come in for the big win. Remember, Jesus is watching you. |

Well, at least Jesus doesn't believe in torture and has compassion for the victims of torture regardless of who they are. Jesus is the personification of Compassion (as is the Buddha). |

Iraq is a political fiction. It was created in the aftermath of World War I so the British could control its oil. The Ottoman Empire had mistakenly sided with the Germans during the War and suffered dismemberment as a result. Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine sprung into fullblown existence as wards of the victors: Britain and France.

I think the US deserves some sympathy. Our century as a Great Power has been spent trying to clean up the messes the Europeans created--and listening to the Europeans whine about it. |

I know you're on a urine extraction run OH, but the Iraq war is longer than each of the two world wars? |

Agree 110%.
Of all that you have said on this board, I think this is the clearest case of you writing something that I might have written myself... |

I think it would be closer to the mark to say that the US has now been fighting in Iraq longer than they fought in both World Wars combined. But even that I don't think is accurate. Didn't they just pass the World War II mark a few weeks back? |

1914-18 and 1939-45. A way short in both cases. |

British, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, and others' imperialism in East Asia, Japan's inferiority complex and response to said Great Power imperialism, and then postwar decolonization there (and in Africa and the Middle East) was not European-induced, -caused, or -derived?
U.S.-Japanese relations and Pearl Harbor occurred in a vaccuum?
And while we are at it, who stubbornly and mean-spiritedly insisted on punishing Germany and extracting crippling reparations from it after the First World War -- and what did this contribute to on the ground in Germany?
I freely admit that with Vietnam and now Iraq we are nearly in the same league. But let us not forget just how bad Europe made things in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for the rest of the planet... |

1917-18 and 1942-45. They're talking about the US. (Always late... ) |
