because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

Okay...Chili..its A WORLD WAR against Islamic Fascisim. Even the Moslem States who are not with the psycho's are getting bombed and attacked. I still wonder what would have happened in 1936 if the Euro weenies had confronted Hitler in the Sudetenland? How many MILLIONS might not have died?”

“yea chili you big peacenik jerk!

WAR IS THE ANSWER!”

“So if Neville Chamberlain had knocked the crap out of Hitler instead of appeasing him then things might have been different? Probably so.”

My quote for the day didn't have a damn thing to do with any specific war.

I think the true meaning behind that quote applies to War in general.

Wouldn't this planet be a better place if we could figure out how to live in peace?”

“Hitler conquered all of Europe from the Arctic to the Aegean and from the Atlantic to Stalingrad. And Saddam?

He invaded Kuwait, a sandbox half the size of Denmark, and got tossed out after a 100-hour ground war. His country has been overflown 40,000 times by U.S. and British planes, and he has not been able to shoot a single plane down. He has no navy, a fourth-rate air force, and a shrunken, demoralized army.
