    How can we ever "win?" All we can ever do is lose more and more lives.
    We can win. The objective of war is not to simply kill people and destroy stuff. The objective of war is to destroy the enemies will to fight. Conducting this conflict the way we do now, we certainly do have zero chance of success. But we could certainly win.

    You all say if we support the troops, bring them home. How is that supporting them? If they come home without victory, then all they have sacrificed will be for naught. Speaking as a soldier, that is worse than death. If we as a people really supported them, we would want them to WIN, NOW.

    I say this all the time... To those of you who hate The President, look at what is going on in the world outside that prisim of hate. What do you see? Look at it in a context of history.

    You can't "win"a war against terrorists. The idea that bombing an entire nation will eradicate the terrorists is completely ridiculous. I would venture to guess that we are breeding more hatred and terrorism against the US. And WHO is the enemy exactly? That part has never made sense. We killed their leader and now we have a new government completely alien to them set up...WHO are we fighting anymore?
