We put 150,000 people outside their homes in Fallujah. If you remember in Jordan, the bomber said that the reason she became a bomber was because two of her relatives were killed in Fallujah. We lost the hearts and minds of the people … When I said we can’t win a military victory, it’s because the Iraqis have turned against us. They throw a hand grenade or a rocket into American forces and the people run into the crowd and they — nobody tells them where they are.

    Hitler gave the volk great cars, great roads, and great radios. If yor measure of progress is limited only to commodity goods then many unsafe or immoral regimes can appear attractive. Why are you such a materialist?

    You take any conflict where you have invaders of another country trying to “fix” the wrongs as they see it , this ultimately always fails and thus lives are lost and son on and so forth.

    only history will decide if it was the right thing to do…
