    We need wise leaders who will make the decisions that will enable us to win wars that, if we lose, will cause us to die or be enslaved.

    Hahahahahahahaha!!!

    Sorry, I just had an image of a Taliban battleship dictating terms of surrender on the Potomac.

    We need a strong leader to win wars.

    We need wise leaders to extricate ourselves from the wars that stupid leaders start.

    Pre-emptive war = Extremism

    To add some support for a widening acceptance of wrongdoing by the U.S., one can refer to the recent topic on JapanToday where the noted historian, Francis Fukuyama, has weighed in with his belief that the U.S. has misused its power and has greatly overreacted to the events of 9/11.…

    Revising your statement this late in the game and pretending you were only talking about the act of killing in war alone shows you're willing to lie to yourself to hold on to your beliefs.

    The only revision of my statement has been in your imagination, and your accusations…

    President Barack Obama’s drawn-out decision-making on Afghanistan is sending messages. To the Afghan government: Clean up your act. To the Pentagon: I’m no rubber stamp. To the American public: More troops cannot be the sole answer.

    Three darts; three bulls-eyes.

    You and I know Republicans have short memories. I aim to not let them forget their failures lest history repeat itself.

    That is a key point. The full ramifications of executive decisions may not be fully realized for years after they are made. And yet we see folks here…

    Sushi, keeping Afghanistan from being taken over by the Taliban and preventing another 9/11 is fiscally responsible, no?

    Lessee: Cost of 9/11 attacks -- Just under 3,000 lives, relatively few injuries, and anywhere from 20 to 30 billion in property damage.

    Cost of Iraq/Afghanistan wars -- Nearly double the…

    Yes, this thread is about President Obama -- who, not even a year in office, should never, ever be compared with his predecessor. The options that President Obama faces were for a war that we all know he started.

    As USNinJapan2 said, most of the soldiers don't have a moral quandary.

    Well, you are essentially indicting "most soldiers" as being less than fully human. No moral quandary whatsoever about killing other human beings? Were I to buy into that, it would make Hasan's action a lot easier to…

    Well then, I defer back to my original statement -- the one which you chimed in on: "The book that many Americans claim to follow...."
