Sometimes I just don't understand people. Not just people, but people that I know. It's a free country, and I am proud to live in it, but c'mon making Baghdad glow? America has lost it's balls since WWII? The conflicts that America is in engaged in now are much different than WWII, you can't apply the same tactics. What good would destroying Baghdad do? Baghdad is not filled with only enemies of America, that is like saying we should bomb the shit out of whichever U.S. city has the highest crime rate to get rid of the baddies. Oops, did we kill you, you must have been living too close to the criminals, sorry. "Terrorists" are everywhere, we don't have a shore to land on and send thousands of soldiers in to die for us.
WWII was not fought for the same reasons. The "terrorists" are religious fanatics, throughout history, the number one motivation for killing. The Japanese in WWII had somewhat of the same inspiration, and we know how they fought, but we also knew where they were, and it wasn't the sole basis for their fighting. I don't have the answers, but I know that dropping bombs anywhere and everywhere we feel is "bad" can have dire consequences. It's a sticky situation, and going in all John Wayne, guns blazing just ain't gonna work.
CHANGE. It happens! Everyday, every decade, every century is a new challenge. We have to learn to move with it, or we will eventually just be another fallen empire.
I probably sound like a lunatic, and my brother will say demasculated, but I think it takes more balls to admit your mistakes and try a different way than to continue down the same path.
Surely this will provide plenty of fodder for me and my loved ones to chew on over the pagan holiday.
Cheers.
Love to you all.

Hey, man the terrorists (all Muslim) have stated that they do not want to live on this earth with us... they want all none Muslims to be dead.. Your wife will look real cute in a burka..If she is lucky enough to become a sex slave.. The people in these neighborhoods know who and where the terrorists are and yet they do nothing to stop them... See you at Christmas.
Heavy stuff Julio. I think somewhere somehow and some way there will be change...as you stated there always will be. I agree that we can't bomb the hell out of everyone...but one day we may have to do some damage to protect ourselves. Hopefully not before you finally get your colostomy bag! Love thy brother man. Your really not so different.
I say bomb the shit out 'em. People get classified and stereotyped all the time. If you don't like it, take action on those that are creating the stereotypes in the first place. A few bad seeds WILL ruin the whole garden. That is why you must routinely weed.
Besides, I wouldn't look good in a burka and I would be HORRIBLE at the whole sex thing.
