IE Allowing our Government to slowly erode rights like freedom of choice and such (which most if not all of the Arab countries have beaten down) would do more damage to our Country then losing 1,000,000 soldiers in the Arab world. Losing would be presenting a demonstrative authority over these countries that we propose to help (IE our way or the highway) and making their citizens, who likely have never ever committed an act of terroism, find the US much like their old oppressors.

I am sick of people believing that this problem will be solved by giving our government MORE POWER. Jesus people, to use a CF analogy, it'd be like saying to the IMMs, well, you guys can hook up all your characters with God gear and extra quest skills, because they know the game better and can think about what we need if they play such characters...

Politics is not a good discussing point for a CF forum. Too many variables and strong feelings.
