1. They aren't just thinking about it.

It's already in motion.

My best friend from High School is already on his way.

This will be his his third tour, the first 2 were in Iraq.

2. How wars are ignored.

We try to wish away threats but we are facing people who believe that following "their" interpretation of Islam is the only way.

We are at war like it or not. It is good that the Canadian Generals are concerned with keeping the locals happy but War is War. While we were ignoring the Taliban years ago, they were demolishing historical "heathen" artifacts, oppressing women, and gearing up to attack civilians.

The commentator on the video provided mentions that we can't afford to put more American Troops in Afghanistan because NATO forces will allow Americans to do their work for them. Isn't that the same argument against the surge in Iraq?

We argue that if we do the Iraqis' work...they won't fight, so we should leave. How can we then say that we should put all our resources into Afghanistan?

I think People around the World should be free from our interference until they break agreements or export terror. When they do, they make their business, the World's business.

If members in the World who believe that innocents should be free from terror would rather be "liked" than make a stand against suicide bombings, we will fight this War for an eternity.

3. So, really we need to convert them all to our brand of Christianity

by force, if necessary.

5. If you mean the Christianity that does not target children, yes.

It would be a welcome conversion if it changed the thinking of a minority in the World who believe it is just to kill based on religion. When diplomacy fails it is sometimes necessary to resort to force to keep terrorists from harming others.
