WW2 - we won !!, Total Victory in less than Five years, had a great leader (FDR)

War on Terror - still slogging along, no end in sight, no sign of Victory, crappy leader (bush)

[clawdaddy314]

Take a smarter guy then me to figure the cost of not fighting some of these wars, but I'm sure it wouldnt be good....

It?s not that kind of war. It is more like the wars on drugs and poverty where the ?enemy? is a vague and non-specific concept. Such ?wars? are good for businesses that find a way to profit from them because they are wars that never can be won (or lost) and, therefore, never end.

[PD]

so far about like the american civil war - when its all said and done probably vietnam level.

One heck of a list!


But there is no war on terror. The so-called war on terror was given up with the rogue invasion of Iraq.
