And what would that 'win' entail, Scorp? What would have to happen for your 'victory' to be declared? Anarcho- 30 years and 3 billion people ago I would have agreed with much of your thinking. Imagine going back to an island where there were just 2 tribes. One tribe killed those they encountered not from their group, and the other didn't. Which do you suppose were our ancestors? How do we explain to 2 and a half billion Indians and Chinese they can't use cheap, dirty coal to build their economies as we did? That they can't ever consume the way …

You are a hoot, Scorp. So how long does our 'support' continue is the question. When can we say our 'mission is truly accomplished' and bring the troops home? What will the situation in Iraq have to look like for this to happen?

I guess ultimately it's up the the Chinese and Japanese, as they carry most of our debt. What if they stop carrying us?

When did it START? I …

Whether we leave Iraq next week or in 2 years, (which with our present manpower/equipment is impossible) the results will be the same there. Only [b]our[/b] debt and loss of life will be affected. The whole issue is so complex-easy to understand why the debate here has run out of steam. I see radical declines lately in online discussions all over the net. I sense many are starting to figure out that while there may be hope, it is for the planet, not us. Thus boards such as this are all dying.

Heh heh. Guess LB misses Mike so much he decided to take over his role here. Pale comparison, to be sure, but still it seems Mike was such an excellent example of the futility of resorting to insults in debate it was out there as a constant reminder to the rest of us. This said, the quality of the discussion has definitely improved. I figure Mike must be dead if he didn’t reply to this thread. Maybe he made the mistake of getting a cab at O’Hare? You know anything about that Cabbie? Will keep up with this discussion from here …
