We don't have to step over the nuclear line to be able to cause significant destruction. FAEs like the Daisy Cutters and MOABs make a pretty solid pop, without the nasty cleanup issues of nukes.

I guess the American public forgot- WWII, we bombed the living daylights out of Germany, Italy, and Japan (not talking Hiroshima and Nagasaki). There were a lot of civilian casualties back then, but I don't remember hearing about people all over the US up in arms because some German citizens were killed by Allied bombing in Berlin and Tokyo. We were at war then, we're at war now. If people over here knew how shady Afghan's are, and how their allegiances change at the drop of a hat, they'd fully support us putting our high tech munitions right down their Mohammad loving throats.

I refuse to support any sort of foreign adventure until:

1. We have leaders (pundits and politicians) willing to clearly identify the enemy (its not "terrorism" or "al qaeda," you turdheads.)
2. We have the populace willing to demand that victory is the primary objective, with the preservation of American lives priority #2, and that the list of things we care about ends right there.

Until then we are just blowing dollars out of our ass and into the hands of tomorrow's enemies, not to mention the young men dying for the privilege of building up a place that will have to be brought down again in less than a generation.

Edit: I'm anti-war in that sense, but I'm pro-Ameriican anti-war. As in, I refuse to support wars whose purpose (no matter what they tell you) is to funnel American wealth to our worst enemies and kill American soldiers, without achieving victory.

It is my honest opinion that as a political system Islam is stronger than it was in 2001 - with a gigantic new country under its sway (Iraq) and billions of dollars flowing into the coffers of two governments. I don't was the US military deployed to help out our enemies.
