if we don't intend to teach them anything then i suppose that means we have to move in and run teh country for them? and who are 'they' anyhow? how many people in this country are we trying to kill? all i've heard so far is about saddam husain...seems that assasination is more the call of the day than war. that is if you even take what the government says about him at face value which i do not. then again, we couldn't divide the oil up for ourselves if we just assasinated him.
and war is always about teaching...might makes right, you have to teach that to the week, right? the crusades were to teach the heathens just how heathenistic they were, and this war will teach iraq just how bad killing is, right?
i do see your point about your two kids and one hitting the other, but this situation is much different. if it were suddam himself who was getting hit then so be it, he made his bed...but a whole country to suffer? if your son hits another boy in his class do you punish the whole class?

so let these people kill each other, what do you care? there is no proof what-so-ever that i have seen nor heard of that they would choose to use any weapons against the US, who says that their ultimate goal is our destruction?
