There are would-be "insurgents" in every population

Scott Evil — 8/11/2004 8:30:11 PM (archived)

The hope is that they can be contained long and well enough so that a stable Democracy (sometimes an oxymoron) can develop thus giving the future would-be insurgents outlets other than violence to express their dissatisfaction.

It will take a long time...The occupiers are still in Japan and Germany 60+ years after World War II.

Believe me, if suddenly a group of Nazi's were to start attacking civilians in Germany with the stated goal of undermining the Democratic government there, that the USA would be fighting them in the streets just like we are so doing in Iraq vs. Al Sadr...(And I would hope the Belgians, French, and the rest of the European powers would be there fighting the Nazi insurgency as well.)

Ditto Italy, Japan, Etc...

      - 20,000 insurgents is still only 0.08 percent of the population. - Tom Brosz - 8/11/2004 6:42:47 PM

        Oh, so the Brits for fighting for an American democratic state? It was just misunderstanding; what a waste of time. (n/t) - gbaikie - 8/12/2004 12:43:17 AM

        This continues to have so little to do with what I said that it does not make sense. (n/t) - alcaray - 8/12/2004 3:46:08 PM
