Name one, and if you are frustrated and wish to insult me, do so directly. Be a man about it.
well....oh fount of pointless sarcasm, let me see if I can pull a few off the top of my head:
we could really lean on Israel to reach a permanent peaceful solution with the palestinians, taking away one of the major irritants that fuel the rage of Islamic extremists.
We could really lean on Pakistan to allow us to conduct search and destroy missions against AQ targets in Western Pakistan. We could significantly ramp up satellite and photo-recon of that area.
We could really lean on Saudi Arabia to stop the funding from their country to madrassas throughout the region preaching hate against America.
just a few things, diplomatic and military, that would be infinitely more productive than continuing to dig the hole we find ourselves in in Iraq.
....
now... in reply, perhaps you would like to explain to me how attacking, conquering, and continuing to occupy a secular baathist regime in a country that had absolutely nothing to do with attacking us and had absolutely NO connection with the group that DID attack us.... explain how that is the ONLY and BEST way to proceed in the war on terror.
From my perspective, staying in Iraq is like the drunk who lost his wallet in the gutter around the middle of the block but looked for it at the corner under the streetlamp because the light was better.
