[QUOTE]Originally posted by TheAmericanHammer: [QB] First of all American deaths in Iraq are very very low in terms of what we usually expect in a war. One of the reasons is that it is not really a war at all. American power in Iraq has ground down the enemy over time and what you are seeing now is the beginning of the end for segments of the opposition. Further, there is no possibility of American forces leaving Iraq in the next decade regardless of who wins the election. When has America ever left anyplace where there was money? Vietnam is not a good analogy for a number of reasons. It simply did not occupy the vital spot in the global economy that the middle east does at this time. Further, the Vietnam war could have easily been won had we turned up the heat. Many of us wondered at the time why we were fighting the thing with one hand tied behind our back. Resolve is much greater in Iraq and despite what you hear from the far left there is no real peace movement in America today. Certanily nothing like that of the Vietnam era. If Iran is attacked and we do not pull out of Iraq over the next ten years your entire projection has to be altered. As for China and Russia. Russia does not have the money to be much more than a nusance. That is why the Soviet Union collapsed. As for china, the darling of America haters everywhere keep a few things in mind. First, American is china's biggest market and a huge chunk of its exports. China will do nothing to damage that relationship. In addition the Clinton and Bush administrations have quietly built alliances aimed at surrounding China with overwhelming military power in Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. Japan , right now, has the fourth largest Navy in the world. Do not make the mistake of paying too much attention to the left in American policics. Regardless of which party is in the White House the left is generally disregarded. You will see more and more American intrusion into the middle east, especially if the region heats up....Russia and China will do nothing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
