Re: Wars have never solved anything!
Plywoody, You feeling OK???
<br />PW2, that is Plywoody, right???
<br /><br />You may be right, PW2. It won't really work near as well as we'd like, the the only other options I can imagine are 1. Convincing their peers to turn them around or 2. Our cheap imitation of a virtual armageddon (which might even somehow lead to the Real Armageddon) The first is unlikey and the second unthinkable and leaves little future for our species. Bad place to be if it keeps escalating. One thing I'm sure of is if we don't make them stop (if even possible) they won't! Maybe a third option would be a strong dose of isolationism with stronger border defenses. Lots of deep economic implications there. And would our security even then be all that great? What would happen to our economy without the free flow of crude oil? Ironically it is largely our dollars which fund terrorism anyway, albeit indirectly. Really adds insult to injury. The greenies may have a good point here. Maybe we are way overdue to develop some serious alternatives to petroleum fuels. Biodiesel, hydrogen fuel cells, whatever. There are people running their diesel engines on converted french fry oil right now- for 50 cents a gallon! I would be too if I had a diesel engine in my pick up truck.
