Bush is a disaster, he was the lesser of 2 evils I speak of, he is what you get when you don't demand and expect the very best, and we're about to be saddled with that same thing one again... As much as it pains many for me to say it, even Fred D. Thompson will be the lesser of 2 evils IF by some quirk of fate he survives the campaign train and wins the nomination, the only 2 candidates that I personally consider to NOT be the lesser are Tancredo and Hunter, and unless someone has the foresight to name one of them as a running mate, it's pretty much a choice of Dem or no so lite, Dem Lite...

I expected overwhelming force, much shit blown up. When Bush was excoriated for overreacting, I accuse him of under-reacting. Then and now. I am seriously re-evaluating my position in the Republican Party, and as a Conservative. BZ I’ll admit this: it simply didn’t go like I thought. I expected overwhelming force, much shit blown up.

I saw this on the History Channel. After WWII, when our forces went after the Insurgents in Germany, they would offer them one chance to surrender and then gave no mercy if they failed to surrender. If the insurgents were holed up in a building, they were given a chance to surrender. If they failed to surrender, our forces would go in and no Insurgents would come out alive. They knew that if we had to go in, it was to kill them all. Take that in contrast to Iraq when Insurgents are holed up in a Mosque. They can shoot rockets and guns all day at our troops and their isn't a thing they can do about it. Quite a difference between Harry Turman and GW Bush on how they took care of things.

To them, the strongest person rules. It's their way of life and has been for centuries. To go in and tell them to have a Democracy isn't going to work. Also, what makes us think every nation on Earth wants to live under a Democracy? Some people are perfectly happy living under dictators, communism, kings, queens, or whatever. Top Gun, it only took 4 years to win WWII but what many people don't know is that a German Insurgency carried on for a few years after Germany surrendered. We still have Occupation Forces in Germany and Japan.
