Is it time to build an empire?

Working under the thinly veiled flag of the UN, we try and fix problems,
that should be fixed by internal governments. Than we leave. Suppose we
had continued the gulf war, and just run over Iraq. Maybe now we would
be in control, of all their oil and sending a message to everyone else.
We are not only the biggest dog on the block. But we will take what you
have if you mess with us. Perhaps when we are done in Afghanistan, we
should set it up as a colony. Lets face it if we leave the Northern
Alliance in charge, it wont be long before they turn the country into
another hot spot, of lawless cave men, running terrorist training camps.
While world conquest may be out of the picture. Perhaps it is time to
just take over the middle east.

Try it against a country that can defend itself. Its one thing to fight
third world countries, something completley different when you fight a
country that can destroy American cities. Your arrogance is what lead to
the Sept 11th killings - and you are still to stupid to realise that.

Are you really that thick to think you have the capability to control
afghanistan ?? Why do you think your government has not invaded on a large
scale ?? Don't you read history or take not of what countless military
commanders have said about fighting in Afghanistan ??

I know your speaking of the orginal poster,, but AFAIC, I really don't
want Afghanistan as an American colony or protectorate. Who needs the
headach. Take care of business and move on. I'm sure there are
bigger fish to fry.
I think the original point was, if the US had taken over all the areas
that it could have in previous conflicts, the US would own half the
world. I don't think if Hitler and gang would have won WWII, he would
have given up any of the countries he beat up on.
Not only does the US NOT go after the spoils of war, we forgive the
war debts owed to us. I don't have a problem with that but some
people get tired of the US always bailing out the rest of the world
and being so nice about it.
And before you flame me to death, I know the US is not perfect, blah
blah blah.

Well that i s a matter of opinion. When someone invades us or attacks one of our
embassies. We have the right to kick their butts then tell them what we want

We have in the past. Most countries that are capable of destroying American
cities are smart enough to know not to mess with us. As for 9-11 that was the
act of some simple minded fools, who thought somehow, they would accomplish
something, by killing a bunch of our citizens. It was a lack of security, that
allowed some cavemen, to take over some of our planes. You can call that
arrogance if you want, I don't really care. Because i know for a fact, I live
in the greatest country in the world.

Of coarse we can control Afghanistan. it wouldn't even be hard. All we would
have to do is install law and order, and give people some of the rights we enjoy
here. They would love us to the point of attacking anyone who tried to take it
away. Are you so stupid, that you believe Afghanis, would fight to preserve the
taliban if we took over?

thing to do after we defeat the Taliban and Al Quaida. Give Afghanistan
a government and constitution similar to the one we gave Japan post WW2.
Occupy Afghanistan until their government is stable and they've had 2 or
3 fair, free and open elections. This is what we did in Japan post WW2.
This method worked very well in Japan. I don't see any reason why it
won't work in Afghanistan. If we do this we not only lose a possible
future enemy. We also gain an ally in the Mid-East. I truly believe the
people of Afghanistan would support us. Common people everywhere love
freedom. Why do you think people from all nations are willing to risk
death to get to the USA. This won't be easy for The USA but it is better
than the alternative. Creating another enemy of the USA. Peace, Freedom
and Safety, Dan.

No. In WW11 neither Japan nor Germany had an effective means of attacking

No they are not. The US has let the Northern Alliance do the fighting. And
clearly from recent results at Kunduz the airstrikes are reaching their
affective limit. If you look at the history of the airstrikes you will see
they have avoided certain areas as they know airstrikes will not be
affective.

Not really. You are not defeating the Taliban through air power. Its the
Northern Alliance on the ground that is making the gains. If you believe
terrorism will go away once a new government is in power the you are being
very foolish. The previous poster was talking about taking control of
Afghanistan - that is something which you are not attempting - thats why the
historical reference doesnt yet apply. Im saying it would if you did try and
take control of it.

The difference here is Germany defeated its enemies, at least initially, by
itself. On the otherhand the US has ALWAYS fought with allies. Also,
Germany went up against several countries at once, and countries that were
pretty powerful. The US has mainly gone up against 3rd world wimps - and
the US has a poor record in doing that.

The US have never bailed out the world. The closest they can claim to
haveing done this is providing troops in Europe to hold off the Soviets.
You did NOT save Europe from the Germans. You HELPED shorten the First
World War and the Soviets one the Second World War.

Main problem achieving it is that the factions in power are not the ideal
candidates to form a democracy. It's worth a try, but it's also a bit like
putting 6 dictators together to form a democratic government ;)
And the ideal candidates would not have enough backing from the
various tribes, which would mean another civil war.

The 2nd biggest problem is that people in the rest of the world are sick of
the arrogance of people like you,
and the arrogance of the foreign policy of your government, to the extent
that they fly airplanes in your
buildings.
You will always have fanatical groups, but this kind of arrogance is the
reason why they can get more and
more power in other parts of the world.

No this is completely wrong. Most of the world loves us. They try to emulate
our life style, as much as possible. Only a few misfits and losers blame
America for their own faults. Those losers, are they ones that fly airplanes
into buildings. You don't believe me fine. Just watch what happens in
Afghanistan over the next year. As soon as the taliban is out of power, people
will start wearing blue jeans and listening to (American) rock music. If they
can get enough money they will buy cars and go to movies. Just like in America.

The part you don't understand, Is this. In America one of the things we value
most, is the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are
concepts that you will probably never understand, until you live in a free
country. Let me make it simple for you: We believe in leaving people alone,
until they start to cause problems with others. If you want to live in a
country, that forces its religion, or music (or lack of) or forces you to dress
in some silly way. That is fine with us. But when you start killing innocent
people it gets our attention. You start killing American citizens, we will come
and kick you butts back into the stone age. Or in the case of the (already in
the stone age) taliban. We will come into your caves ,and send you to hell
where you belong.

The Northern Alliance has been fighting for years. 6 weeks of
American airstrikes has done more than the NA has ever done. Without
those airstrikes, the NA would be no where. Since it is not
coiincidental that the airstrikes and the fall of the Taliban are
happening simultaneously, you have to conclude that airpower is
defeating the Taliban. Now the NA ground troops are and will be
cleaning up. And a few US ground troops/special forces.

Same airstrike comments as above.
As far as terrorism going away, I assume you mean in Afghanisan. Will
it? Maybe,,, we will see. Can't be any worse than it was. The real
question will be - if it does not under new Afghani control, do you go
in and take care of it again?
This new "war on terrorism" has been touted that it will take years.
I don't believe that. It will be forever. A new way of world order
which hopefully won't be fought by only the US and it's allies. But
if it has to be,, then so be it.
Yes, Germany was very successfull against a weak Europe. And, yes,
the US has helped out many of it's allies. But the battles fought in
Europe and the Pacific theatre could hardly be summed up as against
3rd world whimps.
Since, WWII, yes there has been many whimps. I wouldn't call them all
poor records though. If there were it was because they were too
political in nature.

LOL,,, I'm the first to admitt the US has made bad choices and done
some bone head moves in the past. Most times done with good
intentions. Many times done with national interests in mind. Rarely
done out of total malace.
OTOH, the fact remains, the US has and is still helping out much of
the world militarily,, not to mention financially.

Oh grow up. You are clearly of limited intelligence. Time for you and your
drivel to go into the bin.
