I would rather them kill each other than kill US troops.

 

Well if they wanna kill each other, that's thier buisness. Just as I really don't expect Canada to send troops to the U.S. ghettos to stop the killing.

 

Well neither would i. My point is we got rid of the the Saddam problem on whatever level u considered it a problem we are offering a fix and if they dont want it. Time to say goodluck.

 

On a side note: I can't see a word you type, Lugnut. Just in case you haven't figured it out by now.

 

If I may weigh in.

The USA having a permanent base and friendly governments near Iran and Israel will be good in the near future and potentially long term. It is too bad we have to do this. If certain people would stop welding a sword, we could return home.

It is also too bad the USA has become the enforcement arm of the UN, which is why we are in Iraq in the first place. Too bad we ignored Rwanda, but that was the UN's call.

 

Too bad we are the only true superpower left cause it all falls in our hands plus if we have no other superpower to fight with we go after smaller problems seeing them as big ones and also we start fighting among ourselves more. Its sad but look back through history Rome is of course the best example they had no large power to fight so they took over smaller countries and then spread resourses too thin and i think we know the outcome.

 

China is about to become extremely scary to us. Russia, if Putin has his way, will return to it's old ways. The days of multiple superpowers is getting a second wind, not dying.

 

Yeah and honestly i dont think that it would be to bad more than one more yeah maybe but just one to keep us in line might not be so bad.

 

I would just hate to see another Cold War situation develop. The Cold War sucked the life out of Russia and almost sucked the life out of the US. BikerDrew may not agree, but the superpowers need to find a common cause, like exploring space. We're doing it with other countries now, including Russia, but we should go full bore on that and stop worrying being able to blow each other off the Earth.

 

I dont want anything that deep but having someone we feel we cant completely trust is not a bad thing either.
