It's always easy to argue against starting a war in the wrong
country,
rather than USE (and the worst way for Saddam and the best way for
us) an unsavory dictator to maintain stability in one place while we
deal with the right place (Pakistan). Bush may have a diploma, but
he
has no knowledge of history. He's one of many fools who think that
once soldiers begin dying, it makes the cause a noble one, even if
the cause is a complete mistake like Iraq (or Vietnam).
I agree that "noble cause" or the "white man's burden" is sometimes
hard
to justify.

But as for soldiers dying, don't give it a thought.

Our soldiers volunteered, knowing the risk of death or injury, for
the
chance to kill people and blow things up. Seeking that thrill is no
different from other frightful hobbies: mountain climbing,
sky-diving,
tightrope walking, or adultry.

Our warrior class needs a war every decade or so, not only to keep
the
tip of the spear sharp, but to garner new recruits. Who would ever
want
to be a fireman if there were never any fires?

No, our warriors want to be there, they trained to be there, they
need
to be there. And they're willing to take casualties for the
privilege.

I know what it was like - I was once an active warrior. I'll forever
praise Lyndon Johnson for giving me an opportunity and I'll be the
last
to deny our current crop of yougsters their dream.

I've got to hand it to you - you've got the idiot routine down to a
science.

takes one to know one.

Hmmmm now that was an interesting comeback.

I think you're right. I haven't heard such brilliant repartee
