Yeah, well.... this is obvious, right? I mean, to "them", this equation isn't about terrorism, right?

Duh.....

So like, you know, if you want the infidels off your land, and you're fighting 'cause they're there in the first place, then it kinda makes sense, that when you leave, the fighting would stop. Right?

Once again... duh.....

You see, this is exactly why Bushie is such a moron, 'cause I mean, this whole 4 trillion dollar deal was completely un-necessary.....

And I mean, that's why I keep... um.... poking Duh2 in the ribs about that "winning" thing, 'cause I mean, you know, that kinda thing is just.... misguided, is all.

You "win" in a horse race, or a baseball game, or you know, a game of chess. You don't "win" in a war. Wars mainly involve a question of whose loss is greater, and who can take more of a hit and still bounce back. You know, like, oh, you think you're gonna destroy our wires? well watch this - drink dirty water for a while, and see how you like them apples.... and so it goes..... There's no "winning" in a war. None. There's only "survival".

And I never did get the sense, that "survival" was at stake, with any of this terrorism stuff, or even with Iraq - I mean, any more than "cultural survival" is at stake with the "War on Christmas" ( - yuk yuk) -

So I mean, yeah - a modicum of mutual understanding might be helpful in international relations, but I mean, if Bushie the Paranoid insists on believing he has to go around clobbering people on the head to get them to "comply", well....

All that's gonna do, is foster new generations of terrorists.

Once again, duh..... Right?
