The Solution in the Iraq...History shows us that to stop the violence in Iraq you gotta put your foot down hard. That means if your shot at from a village you burn the village. If one of your trops is killed, U line up ten of them and kill them. Thats RESPECT ME STYLE. Can the Liberal Media or US people stomach that?

In the 1920s thats what the Brits had to do, and eventually they lost the stomach for it and left.

If U can't, then according to the indiginious population of the Region the US is just a bunch of weak puppies, and we have allready lost.

The best possible solution for the US in Iraq is to find another Iraqie Strongman and put him in power. Let him do the dirty work of stabilizing the place. Almost anybody would be better than Sadam.

Ironically thats what all the Sectarian Violence in Iraq is about..who is going to rise to the top of *****pile and become the next strongman?

Been preaching the above for years now. They understand one thing and that is force. You show them force and they will back off but give them an inch and they want a mile.

We are there and no way out now. We have to finish the job THEN get our troops home IMHO.
