Everything is a possible threat. I suggest you join the realm of reality in which probability governs and not mere possibility.
Quote:American resolve has been proven
American resolve is worthless to most. This sounds like measuring penises.
Quote:and a terrorist nation has agreed to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction.
Incorrect. You might be trying to say Lybia agreed to stop pursuing them. This has nothing to do with Iraq and their reconciliation overtures have been progressing for years.
Quote:The Iraqi people are stabilising their nation after years of unjust slaughter.
I applaud this.

You are right. Seizing upon humanitarian motivations after the fact is not enough for many.
This is a good thing.
Quote:Many people, who are not anywhere close to being a part of the military, are still complaining.
What does proximity to the military have to do with anything? Personally I think opinions of persons with proximity to the military are of little value.
Your proximity to the military might make you think your opinion is worth more, but this is an inordinate sense of self-importance.
Quote: Many people, who have not been negatively affected in any way by the war, still wish to cower.

Quote:You must accept the fact that we are the leading power and that certain responsibilities come with that role.

What I must do is try to stop laughing out loud in my office at your insipid arguments.
