Your "reason" for the war is likewise laughable. Oppression and aggression doesn't stop terrorists from targeting you, that's so far wrong it's insane. Israel is consistently "tough" vs terroists, they even blow up innocent women and children trying to get at militants. By your logic, that must mean there are no terrorist strikes vs Israel, ever. Funny, I think I may have seen differently in the news...
First off I said this war was the same IDEA as the other two wars. I never said it was having the same impact on lives. You both need to pull your heads out of each other's asses long enough to see someone else's views. As for a Rahrah speech, how do you know any different? Maybe the smoke being blown up your asses by the media is just that.
I also said it is a 100 year plan only 30 years in. Do you think that terrorists don't plan for contingencies? Of coarse there are going to be people that fight against them I'm sure they took that into account. Going into Iraq for a couple years isn't even a minor setback for them. They planned on waging war for 100 frigging years. What is a couple of years to them?
The problem with today's society is they expect a quick solution to a persisting problem. There won't be a quick solution to this one. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be.
