In Iraq, the war against the gov't is over. That makes what's left PURELY a criminal matter. That means the question is, should the regular US military be involved in criminal and securities of foreign countries? The US could send troops to, say, Russia to fight the Russian mafia. They'd certainly kill lots of us and we'd kill lots of them. Innocents would get in the way and get killed too. Then the friends and relatives of those innocents would try to kill us. And on and on. Would we stop the Russian mafia? Probably not. At least no more than we've stopped the Mexican drug cartels. So the entire debate comes down to 1 question: should the US military be responsible for a foreign country's security? You say "yes" and I say "no". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:257391 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
