Government's Polices for Afghanistan and Iraq Are Doomed to Failure

The conflicts* in Afghanistan and Iraq are futile. When the United States puts troops on the ground in the Middle East we doom those troops to failure and death; wasting the lives of our Military for no good purpose. Anyone familiar with the Middle East will tell you that in the long run, the insurgents will be there and we will not and there will be a civil war and it will as if we had never been there.

We are too high-tech to win. The insurgents know that to fight a high-tech arem is with low-tech tactics and weapons. We proved that reasoning during our Revelutionary War and saw it succeed again in Viet Nam.

The United States has not experienced casualties of any meaningful numbers since WWII. Those who support the war in Iraq support the possibility of our military experiencing casualties. In Viet Nam we wasted about 200 lives a week and now people want to have diplomatic relations with the people who killed our soldiers. If 50 dead marines in a month is disturbing remember the Normandy invasion? War means casualties. Don't be concerned with dead marines but instead be concerned with the policies of our government that cannot succeed.

One of policies of our government prohibits the use of embryos in research designed to improve the lives of American citizens and at the same time sacrifices the lives of American citizens in the futile attempt to improve the lives of people who hate us? Now that is something that causes concern.





*Congress has not Declared War so according to the following article of our Constitution what is happening in the Middle East is unconstitutional.

Article I, section 8
The Congress shall have the Power...

To declare war, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than Two Years;
