I think that was Al Quida... The Taliban was the government and we were taking them out one city at a time, while Al Quida hid safely away in their mountains... Don't really remember though.

Nuke them we could have had them whiped out in 2 hours, disregarding the fact that people from all over the world would have gotten cancer and we would have pretty much whiped out the Nothern Aliance too.

However, the land would be of no use for 1thousands of years too.

We could have just sent some pigs(the animal people) in there, they refuse to die with pigs. :)

No offense man, but when you said how Canada has highly trained troops and a few peices of high tech equipment, I was reminded of how on the history channel during WW2, when canada invaded one beach place, their tanks which landed there couldn't move at all because it wasn't suited to moving on pebbles and were defeated.

Speaking of pigs, that was a horrable thing JFK did... The bay of pigs. We could have taken out cuba, and pretty much prevented the biggest Red Scare we had.

If the Gulf war was the one where the other bush was the president, we didn't necessarily win it. I beleive during that our goal also was to remove Saddam, which of course never happened.

Possibly... But another goal was to remove them from Kuwait.

While I agree bay of pigs wasn't the smartest thing to do, would taking out all of cuba been the right thing to do?

Doing a half-arse job doesn't mean it was accomplished than.

That's what I'm talking about in the other topic. We tried to get rid of him before and didn't(I'm sure we can if we want). That may be why Canada is reluctant to aid us.

Not sure though, I can't remember when it happened. If it was during the cold war, it probably wouldn't be the best idea.

I agree completely, that [explicit word deleted] should have been taken out then.

Changing Cuba's regime would probably have been a good thing. I can't imagine how it'd be worse than political prisoners rotting in dungeons while celebrities take tea with Castro and prattle about literacy and health care -- both of which are pleasant to have, of course, but are not in themselves the sine qua non of a humane government.

I've already seen if arse was a acceptable word to use, but that was awhile ago.

Well, if you figure there were nuclear missile bases at cuba, I think if we really did attack, we could say good-bye florida and hello radiation. Oh yeah, almost forgot that russia was on their side later.

That wasn't exactly the word I was looking for. ;)

I was openly inside joking with RaeKwon (Not sure how that works, but that is the best way to explain it). I have no grudges against Canada (Our little brother country), hell even Pam Anderson and Colin Mockery (Whose Line) came from the Ol' "Up north".
But as the "war on terrorism" goes (How do we wage war on an adjective?) I just hope Bush knows what he is doing, he is a great guy, just not someone I would find a great leader. (unless it was at a party)

I'm not an expert on the subject by any means, but I believe the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 60's established that Cuba could not be a base for nuclear missiles. At any rate, the U.S. doesn't currently have any obvious pretext for overthrowing the Cuban regime, unless it turns out to be a breeding-ground for terrorists, which doesn't seem very likely at the moment. On the other hand, it all depends on what the meaning of the word "terrorist" is.

Well, to tell you the truth...no one will ever REALLY use Nukes on one another. They're basically there as a BIG bluff, soo...as of now no one's been man enough to call any of those bluffs. But hey, ya never know.
