I think Iraq has shown that shock and awe doesn't get the job done. Lets be real about Iraq. We had Sadam, surrounded, contained. He was no threat to us or his neighbors. Sure he had offed a few thousand of his dissenters, a few had planned an assisination upon him and he offed their whole village, a brutal tyrant for sure. Now, how many have we killed. No-one is sure. Estimates range from 50-800 thousand. Are we better because we are the "Good Guys"? It's so rediculous it doesn't deserve Discussion, but I know you'll have to try. OOh, those bad guys started it, and right you are, only the bad guys are Bush and Cheney and Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld etc. etc!
The battle of D day was a perfect example not to mention the battles that took place to control islands from the Japanese. The point was that we didn't have the technology so the only option was to go in guns a blazin'.

As for the rest of your post regarding how great Sadam was.......do you really buy that or is this just a front? Sure he offed a few thousand ........DAMN!

Have a good one!:s4:
