[QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"][QUOTE="yoshi-lnex"][QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"]America will last long after we are gone, we will continure to be a Super Power for at least the next 200 years. Every great country eventually falls, America will just last longer than all of the otherssSubZerOo

If the U.S. conservatives continue to destoy the economy and reputation of the U.S. in the world, it'll be alot sooner than that, and if we are to attack Iran as many far righters want to, the u.s. will no longer be a super power shortly after that....

the democracts are destroying America, they always stop funding for our military, our troops are out there fighting for their freedoms and they want to stop funding them, so you have any idea of what kind of message that sends to the troops. You think Iran would be that much of a threat, they arent. we cant beat any military in conventional warfare hands down. When they start fighting unconventionally it gets tough becuase you have no idea where they are and who is shooting. The democrats are restricting our ROEs making it extremely difficult to fight like this. We could level Iran in 1 hour if we had the chance

   Its alot more complicated then that.. The reason why tehy want to stop FUNDING is because they do not believe anything good can come from the war at hand.. And the only positive predictions of the surge have come from the same think tanks that have been wrong in every prediction when it came to the Iraqi War.

   And soldiers are not fighting for our freedoms... They are fighting to stabalize a country that was invaded for reasons that were deemed as utterly false..  Nor are they fighting for terrorism when it comes to Iraq, numerous reports have shown that AQ was non existent and Saddam hated them with a passion.  Now it has become a breeding gorund for terrorist, so bad that reports have shown that it is now more dangerous then it was before we invaded the country.. 

   Any rational person should not fund or agree with the incompetence this war has been given..  Our goal was terrorism.. In the end we basically let Bin Ladin go when he was cornered, and now the Taliban is coming back as well in Afghanistan. 

   So what we have done is increase terrorism, let the figure head of AQ free, further distabilised the middle east, further cause extreme hatred to the US with Abu Ghurub, allowing torture etc.. 

    Why should we as a nation fund this what so ever, when the only way can change the path of the war is by cutting funding. 

Even If we did not have that great of a reason for starting this war, to pull out would be totally incompetent, as Iraq has far too much strategic valure to let descend into civil war. People who say we should leave the Iraqis to their own devices simply don't realize the strategic value of Iraq. We can allow the situation that is going on throughout central Africa to happen in Iraq

Fighting for freedoms? We've already won the Iraq war, so at this pont we should begin to pull back, not act as an occupying force as the iraqis basically see us at this point, and it's making it very easy to recruit for these anti west organizations becouse of the amount of hate we are creating towards the west, and invading Iran would only make it easier. Invading Iran would be the biggest miliatry blunder since vietnam, Iran is nothing compared to Iraq, it would not be a simple cakewalk it was, and the economic damage and damage to the U.S. would be critical especially at this very critical time where china is right behind us economically, and just allow them to catch up faster and detrown the U.S. as the sole superpower.....

If i am right, Iraq was Just as advanced as Iran as seen in the Iran, Iraq war. in the invasion of Iraq we only lost 50 troops. compared to the Iraqis which lost their entire military, most surrendered.  and As of now the US economy is over 3.5 trillion dollars over China the economic damage would not be that great

They didnt let themselves be pushed around by other countries, they stuck with their own values and fought til the bitter end, and lasted a thousand years.

hmm, let's see...last i checked, the US economy became the Best in world history under the control of the republicans..

becouse the republicans basic economic plan is to borrow and spend while they cut taxes, which in the end will be very damaging to our economy becouse the massive debt that they've accomulated will have to eventually be paid off. Their method of economic gain has been economci imperialism instead of investing in it's own people, it allows major corperations to basically rape the resorces and labor of developing countrys, which will work for a while, but as other nations develop we won't be able to take advantage of them, and other countrys that have invested moreso in their own people like they are doing in the East will be far more competitive than us in industry, we are already begining to see this in industrys like automotive.....

Wars took place just as quickly back then, and actually were a lot easier to fight too. If anything, countries have a higher capability of defense now than they did before. And if we ever finish the Star Wars program, we would essentially be invulnerable to ICBM's.

we really cant compare Rome to the USA because the Romans lived almost 2000 years ago, and used swords and spears. We live now, in the present. Instead of using swords and spears, we use machine guns, rocket artillery, main battle tanks, jet figters, and most powerful, nuclear warheads. Life has changed since then. warfare has changed since then, civilization has changed since then. Almost everything but the natural world around us has changed over the last two millenia

Please explain to me how invading a country with a force of swords and arrows, that, can move as fast a horse if they're lucky, is quicker than say the Nazi war machine? And we'll be ICBM proof eh? Well thats great, I really hope it works out. But another new and powerful weapon will come along, it always does.

The U.S will last a very long time seeing as we are one of the major driving forces of the economy of the world. As far as being the number 1 superpower, I can definitely see that happening, maybe in the next 20 years.

we now have an operating Missle Defense system, it uses a 3 tier system, the first is the Aegis long range missle which can cover all of the continental United States, It shoot from Either submarines or land mased silos and travels through space killing the warhead. The second Tier is THAAD, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense It has a range slightly less than Aeigis but relies on Kinetic Energy to Kill the Warhead rather than Conventional missles. it has an outstanding accurac rate. the Third Tier is the Patriot Missle which is useful for taking out SCUDS, Aircraft and all objects basically its the last line of defense. There is also, the Airborne laser which can shoot down missles from roughly 200 miles away. The US is nearly Invurnerable to missle attacks

and how does this mitigate my point on us still being in iraq? The people wasnt us out and we are spending billions of dollars when they already have a stable centralized goverment, the people want us out, and we are only creating hatred towards the U.S. and the west which will in likelyhood increase the chances of an attack upon the U.S. or one of it's allies. Iran has a far larger miliatry, is far more nationalistic, and has a backwards and complex terrain unlike Iraq, and on top of that our military is streched out as far as it possibly be, so soley based upon that, we'd have difficulty invading. The economic damage and damage to our reputation would severly damage the U.S. and becouse of an invasion of Iran we would likely be dragged into a conflict with Pakastan, and lebonon, occupation and conflic would likely last 15+ years and with that, the U.S. will no longer be a super power, China I'm sure would gladly take our place.

[QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"][QUOTE="yoshi-lnex"][QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"][QUOTE="yoshi-lnex"][QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"]America will last long after we are gone, we will continure to be a Super Power for at least the next 200 years.

If the U.S. conservatives continue to destoy the economy and reputation of the U.S. in the world, it'll be alot sooner than that, and if we are to attack Iran as many far righters want to, the u.s. will no longer be a super power shortly after that....

the democracts are destroying America, they always stop funding for our military, our troops are out there fighting for their freedoms and they want to stop funding them, so you have any idea of what kind of message that sends to the troops. You think Iran would be that much of a threat, they arent. we cant beat any military in conventional warfare hands down. When they start fighting unconventionally it gets tough becuase you have no idea where they are and who is shooting. The democrats are restricting our ROEs making it extremely difficult to fight like this. We could level Iran in 1 hour if we had the chance

Fighting for freedoms? We've already won the Iraq war, so at this pont we should begin to pull back, not act as an occupying force as the iraqis basically see us at this point, and it's making it very easy to recruit for these anti west organizations becouse of the amount of hate we are creating towards the west, and invading Iran would only make it easier. Invading Iran would be the biggest miliatry blunder since vietnam, Iran is nothing compared to Iraq, it would not be a simple cakewalk it was, and the economic damage and damage to the U.S. would be critical especially at this very critical time where china is right behind us economically, and just allow them to catch up faster and detrown the U.S. as the sole superpower.....

If i am right, Iraq was Just as advanced as Iran as seen in the Iran, Iraq war. in the invasion of Iraq we only lost 50 troops. compared to the Iraqis which lost their entire military, most surrendered. and As of now the US economy is over 3.5 trillion dollars over China the economic damage would not be that great

and how does this mitigate my point on us still being in iraq? The people wasnt us out and we are spending billions of dollars when they already have a stable centralized goverment, the people want us out, and we are only creating hatred towards the U.S. and the west which will in likelyhood increase the chances of an attack upon the U.S. or one of it's allies. Iran has a far larger miliatry, is far more nationalistic, and has a backwards and complex terrain unlike Iraq, and on top of that our military is streched out as far as it possibly be, so soley based upon that, we'd have difficulty invading. The economic damage and damage to our reputation would severly damage the U.S. and becouse of an invasion of Iran we would likely be dragged into a conflict with Pakastan, and lebonon, occupation and conflic would likely last0+ years and with that, the U.S. will no longer be a super power, China I'm sure would gladly take our place.

The people dont want us out, the Insurgents want us out, They dont havea stabalized government, they dont have a stabalized military. They will quickly fall into  insurgent hands if we dont stay there. Our military is not stretched thin we only have 130,000 in Iraq. we have 2.4 million in our military and 1.4 active military, we can invade but it would be better if we didnt.

The people see us as an occumying force at this point, 2/3 want an immeidate pull out, and 77 percent think that we plan to stay permenatally, considering we are building billion dollar bases, I don't blaim them. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/26/AR2006092601721_pf.html  

The people of Iraq, hate these terrorist groups, and with their military and police force of almost 200,000, they are well equipt to deal with this problem on their own. Continued occupation isn't going to allow them to further stabalize their military becouse they are stabalized, and continued occupation if anything will make their work harder becouse we are helping create hatred for the U.S. and west, which makes recruiting easier.

Nothing lasts forever, and America certainly will not. We're not even going into the fact of the 'world ending by 2012 blah blah blah...' Which would be unfortunate, since that'd be only a year after I graduate. :?

I think it's safe to say it will last as long as the world, but as the one and only superpower ten years, it will have to work with china and other strong countries for the good of us all.

If anyone is a freedom-hater, its the democrates. They're scheming to get rid of free speech, religion, and they're definitely trying to get rid of free enterprise.

when have democrats screamed to get rid of free speech or religion? Can you site one example?

I guess it's fine to let the government decide which video game we could play, which words we can use, what we can smoke.

Yeah, give the Bush Administration (Cheney, Gonzales, Libby, Rove, Rumsfeld) some credit for ruining this country. If we get another Nixon-like character, we're definitely going down in less than 50 yrs
