"at war for a generation" ?

"at war for a generation" -- that's what I just heard Sen. Chuck Hagel say on Late Edition.

Is that what you want? Is it necessary?

1. No. Once the US economy goes belly up...

... which will inevitably happen if the US opts to "stay the course",
there will be no more war. This will happen in much shorter time than
a generation.

2. This war was a mistake when bu$h&co started it

and it is still a mistake now. Nothing can ever change that.

The bu$h administration is a criminal administration. Too many appointees were pardoned from the bu$h I and reagan administrations. The leaders need to be impeached, then tried in federal court.

When found guilty, turned over to the World Court for justice.

This is the only way the United States can regain any respect with the rest of the world again.

I want my country back.

3. Not when we will be sending the next generation to die for it.

:(

4. Who needs persistent war for that to happen?

Any number of bubbles are about to burst (housing, inflation, et al), not to mention peak oil.

Best case scenario? We've 5 years left.
