[QUOTE]Originally posted by futuresobjective: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [b]and you REFUSE to recognise that i'm telling you, i KNOW these people are going to fight till they are all dead if we keep going this way... and if you think the Nam was a good war, you are in for a REAL treat....[/b][/QUOTE] I do recognize that, and they will at least until they realize how much deeper they are digging themselves. Soon enough, unless they abandon their ideals these monsters will be viewed as such and even by their own people. Do you really think anyone will tolerate their actions once they start to actually profit from the new direction their country is taking? They will be viewed just as we view them. I remember watching the news, and there was this story on about a kid (I think around 10-12 years old) who strapped a bomb to himself. When his mother was interviewed she applauded his efforts. That sounds to me like a woman who has no hope for her or sons future (which they would not unless things in those nations change to better the future of their people). They are fighting a losing battle, and when their country starts to capitalize on its own resources these terrorists lose the ability to fight what they have become. It all comes down to money. If you have a nation which is financially more stable, and capable of earning real money which (this time) will go into the hands of the Iraq people you have a country which has no reason for turmoil, hence radicals would be cast aside. Again this is a long term look at how things will go over there, based on the assumption that the us, and other supporting nations finish the job they started. As for the Vietnam war, well I think what was more of a disgrace was how the anti-war liberal bleeding hearts became terrorists in their own sense of the word. Yes I said terrorists! You had people coming home who had literally been in the devils backyard and any person who spoke out against them, made negative comments or committed any physical act to take away from what those young men and women had been through is an outright crime. And now here is a man who basically should have flogged for his comments saying he is for the military? How can anyone truly believe that. Seriously. That war was the first of its kind for us and our inability to distinguish between civilian and soldier led to many deaths. So many people were killed and injured, to take away from the memory, the effort, the lives lost and broke, the physical as well as mental anguish they suffered both there and upon their return by simply turning on every person you were in combat with, shows no honor. Today, things are somewhat similar, your enemy and civilian are sometimes one in the same, that is why this is not an easy thing to accomplish. But still the light at the end of the tunnel is much brighter and much more prosperous for these people than the direction some would like to head. It is that future which will turn these people from the religious action and ideals of the dark ages towards the bright future of democracy were their religion can freely flourish so long as it lacks the destructive aspects some have created over the past 20 years or so.
