Is this a War or not? Something to think about?

[firstgenaddict]

We are not in a popularity contest with the rest of the world. We essentially gave up our sovereignty when we allowed the UN to do all of our negotiations. They put into place all kinds of sanctions but when they are violated they do nothing. It was about time someone (Bush) stepped in and put their foot down. Everytime we have backed down we have been pushed back even further. Bullies (terrorists) only understand one thing "A good ole' fashioned Asswhippin"
They thought that since we have backed down for the last 25 years we would back down again ... they got a hell of a lot more than they bargained for. Do you think Libya gave up their nuke program because we pacified the terrorists? No they gave it up because they realized that they were probably on the short list of countries to be ridded of their leaders.
