Ask yourself, would you like to be occupied by the Chinese army, assuming the results in theUS were like the results in Iraq? Common sense tells me most people do not want a foreign occupation army.

Right, just before the invasion the inspectors were forced to leave so they didn’t get hurt.

Um…  recall any OTHER times when Saddam kicked them out because he didn’t want them snooping around any more and he figured since Clinton was in office he could get away with it?

Do you seriously not remember any of that?  Or does that just not fit your agenda?

WE cited the articles, not FAIR, bozo.

Go to sleep already.

And stay asleep.

Ah, so not only are you reading deficient (and apparently kind of sensitive about me pointing out that little short coming), you also make assumptions.

No need, dude. 

Let me spell this out for you.  There was not one thing about my first post to you on this thread that required any assuming.  You made a statement, I challenged you to do back it up, proving the cause and effect. 

You failed.   

You compounded your failure by making an assumption (stupid to admit it, tho), and once again, ascribing a statement to me which I didn't make.

I don't assume you're reading deficient, you've neatly proved that, by your posts.

Too bad, so sad.  Now, as much fun as I've had batting you around here, I simply must run.

We need a better class of troll, here.

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

You too, Blonde.  That pic of Rumsfeld gets them going, huh?

You've already admitted to never being associated with the military, so logic would prevail that you shut you pie hole about military operations, and secondly you obviously don't have a clue about AT/CT or the definition of terrorism. Another reason where logic should prevail...SHOULD.

"You're either part of the solution or part of the problem"

so your "chasing the Japanese" analogy doesn't apply. How many Vietcong have chased us to America? How many Somalis? How many Lebanese? Not to mention that Iraq never has been a threat to the US mainland.

Saddam being dead, a new government/constitution, and all the other success people here love talking about like soccer-celebrations a bunch of clear signs we've won this war (ignore my fiscal comments for purposes of this question, please)? If we left Korea, would we lose the Korean War?

Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul.

but it seems that when you describe the inertia of an object in a particular ref. frame, you could sub "momentum" and still be correct.

If you were to describe the word inertia, it's the resistance to change in the motion of an object. As an object increased it's momentum, it would also increase it's inertia. I think the conservation of momentum law could also be called conservation of inertia(inertia is conserved for a body that has a net external force of zero acting). I know the expression "conservation of inertia" has never been used, but I think it would be valid and would be equivalent to the conservation of momentum principle.
