"People will fight back; countries with the military capability to do so (unlike Afghanistan and Iraq) will defend themselves from what they perceive as a very real threat, and with good cause"

 

it seems to me that the iraqis are fighting back as well. it's an underestimation on the part of the neocons born of racial prejudice, i remember in the ramp-up to the iraq war anybody that asked any critical questions at all about war as the best course of action were shouted down. I think the neocons really believed we would be fighting a stoneaged people armed with rocks and riding camels.

it's been my experience with neocons that when things don't turn out as desired....it's always because of sinister unfair events....never because of bad policy, It's the liberal medidas fault, it's the dmocrats fault they hate America....the thing is, i can't believe anybody is really surprised at the quagmire in the ME....what did they think would happen
