How did we win the war with germany -- we bombed the shit out of their cities, many innocent civilians died. Haven't had much trouble with them since then.
How did we win the war with japan -- we bombed the shit out of their cities, many innocent civilians died. Haven't had much trouble with them since then. How do we win in afghanistan....... |

I guess that WIN can't be defined until you define the term WAR. War to me means armed conflict between two opposed cultures.
A win means the complete and utter defeat of one side. How do you accomplish this? Death and destruction of the enemy. Unfortuanantly this may include civillians. One thing you forget is that the enemy brought the WAR to us. I don't agree that cillians should die but unfortuantly the have taught their children to hate us for generations They involved thier people in this conflict. The only way to eliminate the threat is to eliminate the enemy once and for all. The US was attacked not because of mideast politics but because of a complete failure to react on all the other attacks. I honestly think they had no idea we would respond to this one. Had we kicked ass for the last few years i beleive the WTT would never have occured. The terrorist i like the play ground bully. He wants to kick your ass everyday until you finally have to beat him into the dirt let him know you have had enough. I take it you believe we should not have retaliated at all? |

Mucor, I believe that America has grown a little soft since WWII. We bombed the heck out of Germany and Japan knowing that we would kill "innocent" people. The US no longer has the stomach to do so, whether that is a good thing or not is subject to interpretation. We no longer do so to "appease" the coalition members and our own people. Keep in mind that Dec Def Rumsfeld just stated that the Taliban is now hiding out in mosques, schools, etc. They "know" that we won't bomb their. The alternative then is to send in ground troops and suffer higher American casualties as a result. You have to remember one thing...if we don't risk killing "innocent" people to "look better" in the eyes of some Americans and other countries, we definately doom our own soldiers to a longer and harsher "conflict". People may disagree with this view and they are entitiled to that. That's my 2cents.

You are a pretty misled individual. This is a WAR. The goal is to win the WAR. This enemy does not fear death. This enemy must be destroyed.
You are absolutly fooling yourself if you think it won't end up becoming an all out, gloves off war. You need to wake up and take a good look at what is going on. Anything less than overwhelming force is NOT going to achieve success. We should be carpet bombing ALL Afghans. These "Innocents" you are defending carry posters praising the enemy. The Afghan people must be forced to unseat the Taliban, or share their fate. They are ALL guilty by association. This shit has been going on forever in the Middle East. I could give a crap less if these subhumans want to live in caves and practice diety worship. But the moment these uncivilized animals brought their false religous motivations to the WTC, it became our responsiblity to destroy all of them. It is misled people like yourself that must be educated. Overwhelming force must be used. Make them crawl to us begging for an end, then shoot that bastard right between the eyes. These "Innocents" you attempt to defend in an un American manner would kill you in a heartbeat. There are no "Innocents" in this war. The children you un Americanly defend would kill you in a heartbeat. Wake the F up. This enemy is out to destroy you. Maybe you should sell your guns and take up knitting... |

Although I don't agree with the "nuke 'em all" theory, I do believe that our engagement in Afganistan is [b]just treating a symptom[/b] of a much larger problem.
If the world has approximately 1 billion Muslims and a large percentage of them hate us, this "disease" will still be with us. Since they're taught to hate the West, and Americans in particular from an early age, this problem of terrorism appears to have no end in sight. Will there ever be a resolution unless we take seemingly drastic steps? |

just for the record the last "innocent" person in this WAR died on 9-11-01. From then on there have been no innocent deaths as a result of this war.

Mucor,
I belive that dropping a nuke on Bin Laden would send a powerfull message to every nation which burns our flag in their streets. We have been diplomatic too long. Remember that they started the "war", not us. We now have to do everything in our power to see that it doesn't happen again. If that means nuke em, fine by me. As far as killing "innocents", that happens in every war. Especially when their schools and religous system preach hatred of the US and train children to be killers from day one. I.E. die for Allah crap. How many photos have you seen with Arab kids holding AK's. Kind of like Vietnam, right? As far as long term consequences, nobody can say. I know that we kicked the shit out of Iraq, which is by far the strongest military in the Middle East. We have to stabilize this part of the world, and we need to do it by force. That means mass killing. I agree that we are in a war to protect our way of life. I just think that most of us on this board are willing to kill to do it. If you are so "shocked" at our opinions here, try some other board such as HCI, NOW ,ROSIE, RATM, etc. I am sure that you will find some soccer mom, or pot smoking hippie to agree with you.

Don't pervert what I have said. I never said we should'nt bomb Afghanistan or to seek and destroy taliban/osama. I take issue with many of you who so willingly resort to desparate measures. Yes, using nukes is a desparate measure..
Hmm. German, Japan analogy during WWII?? Get into to the 21st century bud. It certainly was nice that we had the only nuke in the world at that time. That luxury is long behind us. So is the "luxury" of having a clear and defined state to wage war against. None of you have answered my original question.. Where do you see our nation 20 yrs down the road after we drop nukes on afghan and wage your definition of WAR? |

anything but the smallest of tactical nukes is out of the question....the backlash from the global community would be terrible
there's two main ways to gain respect..... by overwhelming force (submission)....usually end up being hated for this and getting into big trouble later the other is by making decisions that cause people to admire you....by having good leadership skills so people feel that they can follow you in a just cause...win...and be proud....that's what we're shooting for.... large-scale nukes - no way biochem - no way small tactical nukes - certain situations (ie, nuke detonation by enemy, biochem attack by enemy, etc) there's just no way to launch a major offensive like that without the rest of the world isolating us, and then we become the enemy. not so say im too fond of all this globalization crap....but if we want to lead the way we have to show the world that we aren't tyrannical barbarians....but we also don't mess around if you piss us off....fine line indeed |

If done properly i see and end to the war and stability in the mideast. Of course Afganistan will not be the only border that must be nuked/destroyed. Iran,iraq,afganistan,libya,sudan definantly. And possibly egypt and a few others as well. Thats the bad thing about terrorism and regimes that support it. Although each is a sovergn nation each one supports the activities of these extreamists. Until that stop completely the war will never be over.
You are also forgetting a few things about nukes. With the exception of ICBM's they are not the nukes of wwii. Tactical nukes are much smaller and much cleaner. I can assure you if they do in fact have a few of the missing russian nukes we WILL see one here in the US before it's over. Our duty is to protect American lives. Soldiers as well as civillians. I would trade 500 afgan lives for 1 US soldier any day of the week. mike |

Hmmmm...let's see.
Do you remember the bully kid in the school? He would attack you, beat you, take you money and never stop this crap because YOU were an easy target for him. Now imagine that YOU fought back and yourself or a friend kick the crap out of the bully kid in front of all other kids to see, and then warn him that is more to come... The American society HAS been mellowed for decades by the Government and tought that violence dos not pay. The main reason the Government did this is to protect ITSELF from the masses fed up with the abuse. Well...it worked till now but this time it turned against the US and all the bull shit peace attitude. The international BULLY knows that (they are here studying us). If you want for this Country and society to exist in the future and have a fear free life than the American people must put aside the old mind set and accept violence as part of live. Apply the same principal with the international bully as with the HS bully. Fail to do this and we will speak Arabic. They are like a 3 year old that is pushind the limit to see how far it can get before gets its butt spanked. |

The term is "militant, right-wing reactionary."
I believe "radicals" are leftists. As a right-winger, I am not particularly militant. I just want those d@mned "perps" dead. I don't much care what "other people" think of me, or I wouldn't own any guns. I would just knit. Long term consequences: -If we lose--> The moslems will bomb America at will. -If we win--> There will be a lot fewer moslem bombers. Win or lose, the moslem world will always hate America for a variety of (bullshit) reasons. I personally don't care whether Islam loves my country, or not. I only insist that they keep their cowardly, woman-slashing bombers and poisoners in check. ------- "Hi-jack this, Fags." |

I'm not advocating killing everybody in this world who hates us or our way of life.
Not all the "Muslamics" here or worldwide will ever committ terrorisim against us. But we do have to cause enough death and destruction to get them to a point where they say, "ok ok, we'll leave you alone". One of the obsticales to this whole thing is the fact that the countries that "hate" us and breed terrorism -- their religion IS their government. We don't do that here. They have to realize that they can still practice the religion of their choice, they just need a government that isn't dictated by the laws of the koran. And if the koran teaches that all non-believers should die, then, speaking for only myself, that isn't a religion at all. |

ANd that is the reason we are so hated. Lets face it. We THE only super power in the world. The only other nation that could face us right now in a one on one stand off would be china. And china only due to the size of their military. Our technology is light years ahead of the rest of the world. Lets look at this bully thing again. The bully want to kill you and the rest of your friends. While trying to do so you kill him. Are you a hero or a villan. The rest of the world is scared shitless of the radical muslims.

Face it Mucus, Darwin’s law certainly applies to societies and they come in two flavors. - victim - victor The reason these people feel safe providing refuge to these psychopaths is because they know our society is weighed down gutless feebs like yourself. Usama is absolutely correct about one thing - If their society supports my enemy, then that society is my enemy. I’ve watched as men, women and children jumped 1000ft to their death because ‘street pizza’ is preferable to ‘crispy critter’. I’ve watched as thousands of my people were crushed to paste. I’ve watched as representatives of my government were kidnapped, starved, beaten and hung. I’ve seen hundreds of servicemen blown up in their sleep for nothing more than interceding in the feeding frenzy. Their society is clearly my enemy. Fuck em, I will sleep better knowing they are dead. |

Yes, we are in a war, but we are also in a war against terrorism.
We have 2 basic choices... 1. It takes an international effort to fight this thing. So target the terroists from all corners, financial, military, political as we are currently trying to do. Allow military plenty of leeway to go after taliban even if they are hiding in civilian areas. 2. Act unilaterally by Nukeing em', frying em', and intentionally target and kill ANY turbin/curtain wearing Afghan. By doing so we'll have... a: Alienated all of our allies including germany, france, guarantee overthrow of pakistan by growing militant muslims. Receive condemnation and growing fear of rest of the world against us making nukes/other weapons of mass destruction more accesible to blossoming militant movement who even more clearly sees us as a threat to their religion. or we. b: Go nazi and systematically kill any and those billions of muslims including saudis, egyptians, tuks, and those in the US as they will surely hate us for mass targeted killings of innocents and will now pose a threat to our security and hope that in the process, they wont lob a few nuke at us.... WE HAVE FAR MORE TO LOSE!!!!! Our country is not strategically prepared to deal with the consequences of an all out war. Weapons of mass destruction is the great equalizer of crazed individuals, it is what can destroy our beloved nation. It's far more strategically important to small fanatical groups than to us. We are not prepared now to handle these threats. |

[:D] Rainman, I said nothing to that effect. War is not just war. It has different levels of intensity. Even in the Gulf war, it was nothing close to being an all out war like many of you propose, but we still won. We didn't use nukes, saddam didn't use biological or chemical warfare. If self preservation and the future of our nation is of interest to you, you need to wake up and realize the type of world we live in now. We'll get no where by playing into radical muslims hands by escalating this conflict to a level where we will certainly lose control. Tell me our nation is currently fairly secure against nukes and other weapons of mass destruction and maybe I'll understant your tactics. |

Do I detect some moderation in Mucor's posts as you read through them? I agree with him on one thing, I wouldn't whip out the nukes. I don't think we need them. OTOH, if it can be proven that some country is trying to anthrax us, at least tactical nukes would be appropriate. If nothing else, it would deter other nations foolish enough to play that game. "Weapons of mass destruction" begets same.
Most of you guys already have done a great job of saying the same type of stuff I woulda said. This is a war. They started it. We will win it. We will kill their people and destroy their property. Until they surrender. Put as simply as possible, "kill people and break stuff." The Japanese and the Germans were fanatics each in their own way. That whole Shinto warrior stuff and the very idea of the kamikaze shows us they were every bit the fanatical enemy that the current targets are. As rainman so aptly noted, they don't bother us any more. As for world opinion, who cares? Most of the Islamic world hates us anyway. Let's give them some *real* reasons. |

You obviously are not schooled in counterterrorism. Their attitude is that in war, there is no such thing as an innocent civilian. They view each and every person who got buried under the WTC as a military casualty. There is no innocent bystander in war. |

Get over yourself, you act as though only someone like yourself, who is enlightened, and cares about others, and is willing to subjugate the USA to the whims of the un, is a responsible gun owner, and those of us evil, hate filled, war mongers, who just want to kill people are bad gun owners. get a life ya' 25 post count troll. might I suggest a slow boat to france ?? SPECTRE BTW, I hope you can come up with something better than....SEE, I TOLD YA !!! LOOK AT THE PERSONAL ATTACKS !!! BLAH BLAH BLAH...... [-!-] Ah, yes, I will come back with "ya see I told ya!" You brilliantly illustrate my point. You let childish foul mouthed behavior betray your desire to hide your seeeming lack of mental fortitude and insight to carry on a meaningful debate. Nuff said about that and YOU.. Yes, my WWII analogy of the strategic benefit of using nukes holds as we the sole "superpower" in a strict military sense does not hold. Again, nukes and other WOMD are the great equalizer. This threat to us, we cannot handle at this time and thus must play into the equation of how much we want to elevate this conflict militarily and how we should deal with the global nature of this threat. Yes, I say kill em' but we must target them. If some innocent civilians die as a result of honest mistakes or because the Taliban is using civilians for cover then I pray for their poor souls but also realize this is a cost of a war. But go ahead with escalating this to the highest, most brutal level and see how alone and vulnerable we'll feel. Our "superpower" status will be gone in short order. Superpower acts resolutely, it leads the world not only militariliy but also politically, that yes, we, unlike the terrorists do and must care about the death of the innocents. But what many of you propose are far far beyond the moral limits that separates our nation, our civilization from the evil of this world. BTW, the Germans and the Japanese do not bother us anymore not because of the nukes we dropped on them. Far far from it. It's because we stuck around and literally built the nation they are now. Fall you history buffs, go look up your books, the way Germans were utterly humiliated and left on it's own after WW I is what led to the rise of the third reich and the most god awful war we have known to date. |

Mucor,
They (the terrorist) hit us first. It is a war of ideology. If every one of "them" is dedicated to killing everyone of "us" where is there room for moderation? I suggest you read the [u]Art of War[/u] by Sun Tzu. Then come back and relate to the board how we should fight terrorism and terrorist. Please educate us. |

Well, history has proven that in the latter part of this century, a prolonged campaign losses support easily. Not advocating we hurt innocents INTENTIONALLY, but should not cry over it if they suffer collateral damage. Hell they hurt American civvies intentionally. They know our weakness, that is the Americans are soft when it comes to civilians, so they will use that against us. Very succesfull so far, I might add. We will try to be PC in this war. Not because the admin and military wants it that way, it is because the American people have become too soft when it comes to views of warfare.
What does war (which we declared it as such) mean to you? I view war to be equivalent to death. Be it civvies or military. The majority view war as solely affecting military. They cannot phatom civilians involved due to the fact that the US have not seen war to the fullest since WW2. We have become soft in our views. The other question is, where do you think Afghans get their military forces from? Their civilians, their young. If you study historical military facts, many armies killed their enemies young men to prevent them from rising up again. THAT IS TRUE WAR. We are at war. We have declared it. We are currently fighting it. We should do everything in our power to win this war. I mean everything. This must not become another Vietnam. This is WAR not some game you play and get to do over. It must be won by any means necessary. WAR = DEATH. DEATH DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE This makes me think of what my martial arts instructor told me once. He said, " if you get into a fight and do not end it within the first minute, be prepared to lose" So I guess this makes a keyboard commando because I have no way of proving with actions what I say. |

Mucor: Forgive me if I am wrong, but I don't thing you have ever seen combat. Standing order in my plt during the gulf war was "if it moves, after I say stop, kill it" I was unwilling to see one of my guys die to save a "rag". Ya I know, raceist statement, but that was the term used at the time. My dad called his enemy "slopes" till the day he died too. My uncle still calls the VC "slants". So I will call mine "rags", bad habit but it seems to be a family tradition. Anyway, nothing less than total war is going to work, the "rags" are already in a total war, we are just starting to realize it. So now, if it moves kill it, and 20 years down the road, they will be sending cheap toys and cars to the US.

The war terrain is a little more complex now isn't it? Also, you were not in a "total" war as defined by many members of this group. Total war meant driving all the way to Iraq and killing anything that moves there, or better yet, throwing some nukes there. QCMGR, Thank you, I have already read the art of war... Sun-tzu was a great taoist, I like him alot. Sun-tzu said: Generally in warfare, keeping a nation intact is best, destroying a nation second best; keeping an army intact is best, destroying an army second best; keeping a battalion intact is best, destroying a battalion second best; keeping a company intact is best, destroying a company second best; keeping a squad intact is best, destroying a squad second best. Therefore, to gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence; to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence. Therefore, the best warfare strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, next is to attack alliances, next is to attack the army, and the worst is to attack a walled city. Laying siege to a city is only done when other options are not available. |
