I like to bring up WWII when talking about this, too. Perhaps it's because I'm older than dirt and remember some things about it--such as, we didn't win it in a few weeks, or months--it took years. After we won it, we didn't exactly put the world back in order in a few weeks or months, either. It took years. It didn't go easily. Even after the hostilities had supposedly ended, there were attacks from groups of die-hards. It wasn't cheap, either.

If we had fought WWII with the carping ninnies we have now, I wonder if we could have won? Back then, we won because the nation was truly united in winning it--yes, a few objected, but not in polite company, not if they wanted to leave the room without a bloody nose!

Exactly.. We didn't try to rebuild the damn place while the bullets were still flying either. This is a whole different kind of war where we are fighting the Taliban wing of the Democrat party here at home, a country-less, ununiformed army, and a world of dirtbags in the UN that sip the blood of the murdered whilst enjoying priviledge and safety in their NY suites. They never met a genocide they didn't love; rolling their hands together at a business opportunity they could exploit for personal gain. And somehow the left in this country loves them. LOVES THEM. Perhaps the main difference between WWII and the WOT, is that human decency was still prevalent. We have to make sure we support the bravest among us, by ensuring this is still a country worth defending.
