Paper Tiger

I think I have finally come to a realization as to why the United States has not won a war since World War II.

It's not a failure of leadership. Its not the political climate in Washington, its not even the strength of our enemies. It's because of the American people.

Don't try to reply using the Gulf War of the 90's as an exaple of a war we won. We are still fighting it. Saddam violated the ceasefire within 30 days and consistently did so for years before we invaded to re-instate it.

Prior to 9/11 we didn't even realize we were at war, but our enemies did. We hear a daily death toll of american soldiers (much less than anticipated), but we never hear the good news of how many people who want to kill our children are in hell.

Osama called America a "paper tiger". he may be right on that one.
