suicide bombers. How the hell do you fight that?

Well, you don't. Ask the Russians. It took them ten years in Afghanistan
to reach that same conclusion.

We in the west seem to want "shock and awe", instant gratification. The
folks over there don't mind dragging it out over *centuries*. The
Shiites and Sunnis have been feuding since about 638 A.D. and we think a
six month or year "surge" is going to resolve the issue? How dumb can W
be? (don't answer--it's a rhetorical question).

My oldest boy might be going over with the "Lincs & Winks"

Best of luck to him!

and my second oldest is thinking of signing up.

Why????

I guess because serving in the Lincoln & Welland Regiment
seems to be a family tradition going back a long, long way.

Well, you being a WW II vet, I have all due respect
for you. God know our country owes you a hell of a lot. I will say
that you are totally right about fighting the immigrant invasion. But
I will say "illegal immigrant invasion" and the ones with criminal
records in their own countries coming into our country. Both the U.S.
and Canada have a big illegal immigrant problem. I agree with you on
that. But as a few others have said here, there are also times when we
have to go "over there". We have to "kill the snakes in their nest",
and try to stop their spreading, no matter how much the whole thing
stinks. So if you look at it that way, we have a war on two fronts,
overseas, and right here at home. God help us.
