October 29, 200817 yr OK two wars. Feel better. Yes, as I have former students fighting in what they and others have referred to as the "forgotten war" in Afghanistan...the one that actually WAS the result of 9/11.

October 29, 200817 yr Aren't we involved in two wars right now? Technically isn't it one war, being fought on two different fronts? I mean it's the "war on terror", is it not...
October 29, 200817 yr Technically isn't it one war, being fought on two different fronts? I mean it's the "war on terror", is it not... I guess if you are in the Bush camp, it is.
October 29, 200817 yr Technically isn't it one war, being fought on two different fronts? I mean it's the "war on terror", is it not... Neither are officially wars. We are technically involved in two conflicts in two different countries.
October 29, 200817 yr ^ Neither are officially wars. We are technically involved in two conflicts in two different countries. Okay, thanks.
October 29, 200817 yr Neither are officially wars. We are technically involved in two conflicts in two different countries. I keep forgetting this point. My dad served two tours during the VietNam "confict".

Nice way to avoid the main point of the original statement, that within a matter of minutes on 9/11 more American civilians we killed by Al Qeada than troops in "the war on terror".:argue:
October 29, 200817 yr I keep forgetting this point. My dad served two tours during the VietNam "confict". I've been known to quibble over semantics.
October 29, 200817 yr Nice way to avoid the main point of the original statement, that within a matter of minutes on 9/11 more American civilians we killed by Al Qeada than troops in "the war on terror".:argue: And this is supposed to justify the invasion of Iraq? And if I'm not mistaken troop deaths have well exceeded that total now. That's not including all casualties, either.
October 29, 200817 yr Nice way to avoid the main point of the original statement, that within a matter of minutes on 9/11 more American civilians we killed by Al Qeada than troops in "the war on terror".:argue: Over 4,000 US military casualties in Iraq, though Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.
October 29, 200817 yr And this is supposed to justify the invasion of Iraq? And if I'm not mistaken troop deaths have well exceeded that total now. That's not including all casualties, either. No but 70-80% of Americans polled during 2003 which led up to the war supported it. Justification can never be found in war, it doesn't work that way. Reasons for going will always be questioned, even by those who at the time supported the move. Though often times they'll later say that they were mislead or that the info wasn't good, and just pass the blame along. Bottom line is that the overwhelming majority of Americans supported the war in Iraq, now everything after that is a whole other story.
October 29, 200817 yr Over 4,000 US military casualties in Iraq, though Iraq was not responsible for 9/11. That is equilivant to about 30 hours worth of abortions in this country. But the war is bad and abortions are a legal choice in this country. Not aimed at TBG. Just venting.
