RE:Bank Robbers

........forgetting that it is the bank robbers or US which has to go home some day and not the people outside the bank who are already home. Impoverished US Congressmen are already asking that poor Iraqies pay for the US Iraqi war.

The US has not learnt anything from 6 years experience in Iraq and Afghanistan and from losing a lengthy war in Vietnam and from USSR losing a similar war in Afghanistan .There are no military strategies which can possibly work against guerrella warfare and Vietnamese proved it convincingly. B-52s, tanks and other fancy equipments are all obsolete.This is exactly what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past 6 years. USA talks about staying 100 years in Iraq and for an undermined period in Afghanistan without realizing that each passing day,it is costing in US lives and material to no good end.Trying to involve Pakistan just does not make any sense.

Its time US should realize that any political or financial return from these two wars is very poor and it is time US to go home and spend its precious resources in tackling multitudes of problems at home and just forget about being the big machoman for a while. It would not be inappropriate for US to enter negotiations with Al-Qaeda and try to reach some sort of settlement.It is doubtful that Al -Qaeda would settle on the Palestinian issue,however at least a settlement with Al- Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan should be most welcome,since it would allow the weary US
