Reply #59: I'm just telling you what will end the attacks: an end to US imperialism

[AP]

And staying in there, running elections, imposing the set of laws we're imposing on that country is NOT an end to US imperialism.

If 60 countries had 2,000 people each fatalities would never reach a level that would force anyone to bug out, and if the argument were made to their citizens that they're there so that the US can't run Iraq as a colony (so that the US can control the fuel of economic growth in Africa, Europe and Asia) then I think the citizens of those countries might be willing to tough it out. (After all, Americans are toughing it out for reasons that are much less compelling.)
