I think we never had a very clear goal there, so it’s hard to be successful. Or gauge “how it’s going.” I just hope that their people and our people didn’t die in vain. ---

for afghanistan against iraq…we knew from the begginning he didn’t have any “weapons of mass destruction” my take on the situation…we should have let Saddam continue his reign…for he truly does know how to handle those people. ---

Why do you have three options against but only one for it? The way it is worded makes it look like whoever is for it is blindly following but if you are against it you have reasons. Are you trying to replace Dan Rather on NBC?😃 ---

it takes longer than 2 years to organize a country/government and its people who have been oppressed since the beginning of time. i’m sorry, but there is no instant gratification. how long do you think it took to get germany up and running after WWII? a week or 2 maybe? this isnt sim city. edit: maybe there is a cheat bush can type in at the console that will speed things along ---
