I realize there are too many greedy people in the world for this to ever happen, but it sounds nice on paper. ;) I do support Democracy, but I don't support invasions. I understand that most Americans, including you, believe that we were provoked and have enough legitimate reason to be in the position we're in - maybe you're right - but it seems to me that America as a country is, unfortunately, the world's biggest bully. I appreciate the fact that we have men and women willing to sacrifice their lives to defend ours, but that doesn't change my belief that words should be the ultimate answer to conflict - not violence.

Why would communism stop militias? Violence will exist no matter what government or economy is in place. If it could never happen, why support it? I also understand your opinion, but.

Conflict resolution shouldn't be achieved through violence - that makes us no better than them. Both sides have the ultimate goal of "domination = peace" but that's not how things should work. The unfortunate thing is that we depend on militaries where (in an ideal world) we shouldn't have to; of course, achieving such a goal would essentially require true <a href="http://www.answers.com/communism" rel="nofollow">communism</a> (not <a href="http://www.answers.com/stalin" rel="nofollow">dictator communism</a>) which will almost certainly never happen.

Um, we had elections, right? If we aren't victorious and Iraq turns back to tyranny, why have so many of our men died (though not that many really have for a war, it's more likely to be murdered in D.C. than Iraq)? The only way to honor the men and women that have died is to make sure we don't have to have this war later on after the enemy re-stocks and is more capable of killing more of us, we are in this for the long hall. I know I may seem to sound like a crazy, redneck, right wing, Richie Rich guy, but I'm truly not. I was raised by HIPPIES, just like Dean, and I am a proud Republican. Out of touch?
