I think the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki lead to the surrendering of Japan.
The timeline is undeniable. The necessity of that action is debated. It lead to the nuclear arms race we have today. if we shoot off 25% of our arsenal in the next decade, then it clearly wasn't a good thing. Well see.
Americas needing to be 'politically correct' has created more issues.
If by politically correct, you mean launching a war of choice and then an occupation, sure.
Seriously what do you think has been accomplished from our troops being out there for over a decade?
Seriously? Saddam is out of the picture. Iran is surrounded. Iraqi oil is traded near the petro dollar again. And we have the anger of all those muslims we drug through the mud for a decade. Good thing the dead don't complain as much.
This war feels a lot like the vietnam war. Who won that?
USA. 50,000 American dead. 2.5 million vietnamese dead. Climb atop the bigger pile of corpses and declare victory!
But the humidity is was different.....
You cannot reason with people who will die for their god.
