This is why people are dying, why this world doesn't have peace, why this world is being leeched.

America is not leaving Iraq because we need to win this war in order to prevent the greater war on terror from being lost as well.

The 'war on terror' is an American invention, and anyone with a brain knows that this war can not be 'won'.

There always have been individuals and small gropups that have used the tactic of terror and that will never stop.

The British, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian and numerous other countries have had to deal with violent extremists in the past and it's a matter for the police, none of those countries has ever proclaimed a 'war' on terrorism, simply because that's just as stupid as a 'war on air'.

Only America starts 'wars' that will have NO END and that will only put oil on the fire.

There is no such thing as winning a war on terrorism, only fools can believe that is possible, the only thing that the Americans are doing is creating a world in which the individual freedoms have to bend for an illusion of fighting terrorism, and that's not winning from terrorists, that's giving them what they want.

Stupid American governments with their insanity, makes me want to puke sometimes, dumbf*ks.

The only reason we're fighting in Iraq is to secure the oil reserves and increase productivity. If the Middle East had no oil, the US never would have invaded in the first place.

This is a story that goes back to World War One. The British and French carved up the old Ottoman Empire into phony "states", took over the oil production, and there's been chaos there ever since.

For a good primer on how governments continue to ignore obvious lessons from history, check out the program, "Blood and Oil." It shows exactly how European meddling in the Middle East set up a century of conflict. The seeds for Al-Qaeda were planted 90 years ago.

What does this winning in Iraq entail?
I thought that was was already won at least once (mission accomplished) and then the second time (election in Iraq was "such a success") - possibly three times (Saddam caught).
How many times do you need to win a war to really win it?


This war is very similar to the war on drugs - the longer it takes the more fighting is left to do.

IMO the war on terror should be taking place in laboratories, working on alternative sources of energy. As long as the main source of energy is where people do not appreciate the Western world there will be always a need to fight on terror, liberate someone or introduce someone to democracy, or abolish one if it prevents steady supply of energy.
