Call me crazy..and I'm sure the left-wing pansies will....but for the sake of argument...let's treat terrorists as a plan old criminal matter...best handled by law enforcement...now judging by the nightly news...any channel will do...whats the one thing thats consistent with the arrest of a criminal? It's the plastering of their images, videos of their interviews, etc across the screens and pages from coast to coast...so by the useful idiots o

So your view from this article is that France and Germany are all of Europe and Europe is the only place to get troops. Troops need not come from just Europe, as I would prefer they actually come from other Muslim nations that took part in the first gulf war, but took a pass this time around. France and

With Bush still in power, the possibility of other nations joining the pathetic "coalition" now formed are zero. He offered them no reason nor incentive to go so they didn't.

Im not quite sure Bin ass would be the one unifying figure....most likely because he's a sunni muslim and sunnis tend to hate shia...although someone else down the road might possibly become that person...who could cross religious boundries

Another varible is the possible scenario that the who and why is changed....regarding a possible global war on Islamic terrorism....which makes whats currently going on pale in comparison...why do I say that...nearly all countries we listed have some form of disturbing problems with the muslims in their country...for example, China itself is dealing with an alarming rise with probs with their muslims in western China....so its not out of the realm of p

India may indeed tag along as it were with what you termed the left....most likely because of its dealing ecconomic and military with China...but who knows... another thing, you omitted South Korea....even considering the anti-us sentiment there now...which is large, between 35 to 45% are staunch pro-us/pro-west.....and frankly I'd rather have the ROK forces on my side instead of the lefts or stand

Solitair, you are correct that France is not a member of Nato, while it does have pseudo membership it is not on the Nato military council....it has status akin to Russia in Nato....diplomatic...period... As to the Eu....it will signal the end of Nato if it becomes a true reality as both germany and france have been pushing with serious behind the scenes efforts to create a unified military organisation...bringing all militaries under the cont

Solitair, for one the British have never considered themselves part of Europe in the literal sense and as for their military, they are perhaps the only one in Europe who have consistently maintained both a capability and power in any real sense......as for France...perhaps the only country I truely have a serious dislike for long before 9-11....well their "great" military exploits have been the bombing of a greenpeace ship, to the "peacekeeping" job in

Dr. G, damm, damm, damm fine article....some of the facts and figures I was previously aware of,especially regarding TET....others I wasnt....and I have always stated that vietnam was a political and media loss as you write...never a military loss....one small tidbit that gets my anger up is that to the general population around the world they see to think that the US was the only foreign military aiding ARVN forces in Vietnam when both Austraila and S

While I agree with marvin's premise....his choice of certain words does tend to deflect from his arguement....gay & lesbian married couples cant reproduce which is a major cornerstone of marriage throughout history (sorry, invetro and other means dont count)...those pushing for gay marriage want this country on some level to be as enlightened as our "friends" in Europe...too bad even Europe aint as enlightened as they puff themselves up to be...even le
