Bring em all home!

[kygorski]

Some very bright people have said" war is the failure of diplomacy" What did we accomplish? The only way we could sell autos in Europe, was to build factorys in collaberation with their auto makers. Same with Japan, did we lose?We destroyed them, and rebuilt them, who won?We wanted free elections in Lebanon, what happened, pro muslim government. There has been only one nation that ever tried to invade us. England. Villia made several raids, and was dealt with. In history, armies that invaded usually brought back plunder.Wars are also fought for economic gain, where were either of those two in Iraq? We instituted the Monroe doctrine to stop colonization of south america. Do ALL the south americans love us for that?Tunis is having elections today, odds are it may be a theocacy that is the big winner. How does that help us? We preach democracy, but look at how a small group of wealkthy contributors has dead locked the government. No One Loves Policemen.

We did. And diplomacy is keeping it that way. We kill dictators and terrorists who inspire their people to attack us. We don't punish nations, just leaders and their followers.

Since WWII, Germany and Japan, both rebuilt, and both stay at home to play.
North Korea talks alot, but doesn't invade. Hasn't been a fight in Vietnam has there? Russia has attacked no one, neither China. We never fought them, and them and us both know why..diplomacy and lunacy.

Accomplishments:
-Since 9/11/01, there have been no more successful attacks on US soil.

I think its time for most of our folks to come home. I think the tone has been set. I think there's folks out there who realize, 4 airplanes in one day in 2001, has gotten them a world of hurt over the passed 10 years. And it came at a price as it always does to us. Nobody said freedom was free.

They are scum, trouble makers. We dont have those? And for your information, this with drawel date was made by the PAST administration. Nobahma is right, if there is no SOFA agreement, pull our troops.
