I don't consider this (The War on Terrorism) to be a war that is winnable. So whether anyone loses it or not is a moot point, don't you think?

The War Against Drugs was another example of the same kind of thing...but with less fireworks.

What I would like to see Bush lose is this: his war specifically on Iraq. Why would I like to see him lose it? Because I ALWAYS want unprovoked aggression to lose, regardless of WHO launches it, and upon whom.

When I say I want him to lose his war on Iraq, I mean only this: I want, someday, for American and British troops to get out of Iraq, go home where they belong, and leave Iraq alone to sort out its own future destiny under its own auspices, as any nation has the right to, and control its own oil without foreign interference.

The British also occupied Iraq after the 1st World War, and they eventually left...at the cost of many lives.

What is occuring in Iraq now is not a war against terrorism, it is thinly disguised colonialism for the purpose of controlling oil.

Yes, I definitely want Bush to lose his colonial war of aggression on Iraq. That does not mean I want anyone to attack the USA or Britain or to bomb civilians or anything like that. I just want the USA and Britain to stop attacking Iraq and various other small countries and leave them alone. Period.
