Let me know when they get a sustained peace there, then you can tell me the billions and billions of dollars we have sent into the cesspool of a region actually has worked. Keep waiting, it isn't ever going to happen. Crazy religious people are just that, crazy.

Great argument. So we should have let Hitler win in Europe? Let Japan take Eastern Asia? Let Russia park missiles in Cuba? Let Korea become Communist? The World would be a better place then? The middle East may be a pain in the ass but last I looked some of those wacko religious countries were sponsoring terrorism and developing nuclear bombs. Should we just let Isreal take them out first and worry about the fallout later?

No. Because those battles involved American interests. There were real powers involved that were a threat to the US. Not some little crazy middle east countries that are full of religious wackos.

chris....re-read what you just wrote. if you think that these middle eastern countries, iran and syria for instance, post no threat, and don't involve american interests, you're out of your gourd.

This thread alone leaves us, without a shred of doubt, that the print in bold is the case.

Who gives a $hit about the religious whacko's?? Let them be by themselves...Stop monitoring them, and let them give us their best shot.

If you believe that germany or Japan was a bigger threat to the US than a Middle eastern country with a nuclear bomb you obviously have forgotten about 9/11.

And under your theory how did germany or Japan involve our interests more than the Middle east does?

No middle east county is going to use a nuclear bomb on the US. A terrorist group from Pakistan might, but nobody in the Middle East. Last I checked Pakistan was in Asia, but maybe the map changed when I wasn't looking.

Listen ****** if any country uses a nuclear bomb it further wrecks the worlds economies which are already in poor shape. Why this is so is simply far beyond your understanding. And last i looked there were a whole lot more US civilians killed on September 11th, 2001 on American soil that were killed during either World War.

Nearly 1 million members of the military were killed or wounded in world war II. And almost all were drafted. I don't care if they are civilians or military. An American death is an American death. This notion that a civilians life is more valuable than a member of the military is moronic.

Just curious - am I the only one that knows about the weapons of mass destruction they found in Iraq.
