please read that initial post. i think you'll find i was referring to war for the sake of expansion. are we moving our people into the middle east with an eye toward taking up residence? are we planting our flag in iraq and claiming it for our own? are we claiming some ownership to that land? in case you're at a loss, the short answer is no. afghanistan is a war of retribution, plain and simple. no matter what either side may claim, we went there to exact revenge for an attack on our soil and to warn others from making similar feats. though i have never been in favor of the iraq invasion, i can understand how some may have believed it was a necessary step and it has become ever more obvious that it was no attempt to claim the land or its resources as our own.Iraq and Afghanistan aren't even over yet...
and we are doing what u just claimed to be "savage".....
the comparison of our ventures in the middle east and the invasion we are witnessing from the south lacks any validity. illegal immigrants are coming here to claim this land, its jobs and its resources. this invasion is not one that utilizes weapons, as the invasion that decimated the native americans, but one that employs the equally primitive use of sheer numbers to occupy us and annex portions of this nation and its social resources for the use of mexico's citizens.
