    How can someone be both a 'war' president, and a 'compassionate' conservative at the same time? It just doesn't add up.

    Lets face it. Republicans are no good at war. Vietnam, Grenada, desert storm, Panama. Both world wars were run by democratic presidents and won within the same year as our involvement.

    Not quite - my knowledge about WWI besides what started it is sketchy at best, but if I recall correctly, we became involved in WWII in 1941, but it didn't end until 1944.

    I am also not physically strong, I would not be an asset to the military.
    Only a very small percentage of the army is actually composed of combat units. I know that in the Israeli army it's 17%, and that's an extremely high percentage. In today's wars and conflicts, the importance of a well-trained and profession behind-the-lines-keep-the-war-going-and-support-stuff troops has risen a great deal. A good logistics or intelligence officer is worth a lot. But, of-course, if you don't want anything to do with war, you won't become that, either. But, then, you might as well leave the country, as the taxes you (supposedly) pay help fund teh eval war machine, too.

    What did Iran do, and why would America go to war with them?
    Despite being told not to by both the UN, the USA and Israel, they have kept working on their nuclear program, and have nearly finished with it now. They ADMIT to having nuclear power, and they also have the means to launch war-heads (to reach Israel and Turkey, mostly). A situation where a nation with an extreme Islamist regime that has mass-destruction capabilities is a very dangerous one.

    Well we didnt go on an offensive (D-DAY), until 1944. Really it was the Russians that won it.

    I doubt they'd be dumb enough to attack either country with nukes, because Israels nuclear response would erradicate all life in Iran. Guaranteed. Not to mention with our trigger happy idiot in office, a US strike is almost certain. Then the UN would have no choice, but to interven, but by then it would be a no mans land, and Islamic Extremists would have even MORE reason to hate Israel and the US.

    Bush wanted to draft everyone that was born in 1988 because he hates poeple who are born in 1988 so he started teh iraqi war to over extend teh military so by 2006 he can call a drafta dn draft every single person born in 1988 no matter if htey are teh mothers only son.

    Oh wow, that's awful. Almost as bad as that one country like that, except they already HAVE used them. Y'know, the US.

    Why is it ok for the US and not Iran again?

    I think given the state of the world unfortunaely, yes, every nation has the "right" to possess nukes. It's just too arbitrary and tyrannical to go after countries with nuclear weapons programs because we dont "like" them -but of course that's not going to stop the megalomaniacal elitists of our government executing their defense plans so they can feel better. However one reality check for you - despite what u think the fact we used nukes against japan saved hundreds of thousands, possible millions, of lives period, japanese and american alike. People often overlook the the island invasions in the pacific were the battles with the highest death tolls, not Europe.

    Shadow8017, I ask you this: Was it even necessary for us to invade and conquer Japan in the first place? We had crippled thier military power, and they were no longer a threat to us, or anyone else for that matter. Why then, did we invade, and occupy Japan, as well as use nuclear weapons? I think I know why, but I want to hear what your idea on this subject is.

    Er so? Shouldnt we get rid of all of them? I am sure they will keep alot active despite saying they are disarming them. Surely Iran wont be stupid to launch them and they will be kept dormat too.
