Same here, Dan. As a student of history, I've always said two things-History
always repeats itself and a limited war is a lost cause.

Why is Israel having problems with terrorist activities? Because they won't • deal
with the problem.

I agree, but I'm probably not thinking about the same problem as you are. The
problem in Gaza is a problem of preceived land ownership, not terrorism.


Actually, it's a combination of the two, but I won't split hairs on this one.


Now let's look at the Gulf War. It lasted what? 3 days? Against the largest • army
in the world, the war was over in 3 days. Why? Because we didn't dilly dally • and
throw limited responses at the Iraqis. We pulled out the sledgehammer....and <
splat>. No more cockroach. It didn't even bug us for years....NPI.

And murdered many innocent Iraqis in the process. Sound familiar?

ROSCO

That were being used as human shields and no, it doesn't sound familiar. Saddam
kept hiding. QWB was quite public about where he's been. GWB wasn't anywhere
near the WTC. He was in Florida and anyone who turned on a television knew this.
Attacking Walt Disney World made more sense then the WTC if Bush was the
intended target.
