    Default carpet bombing and iraq

    Hey everyone! today i got into an arguement with my shop teacher when he said that we couldve solved ALL our problems in iraq if we just carpet bomb a couple of cities to set an example to the others...i disagreed saying that mass air force power alone wont finish the job. what do you think would have worked?

    ~thank you~

    Part of the war was to liberate the Iraqis, not exterminate them.

    How many times did we bomb the hell out of North Vietnamese..?..You can't just bomb an enemy that doest care about the people from the country in witch there in, Plus the American people would not allow that to happen it would be a huge PR nightmare.

    Carpet-bombing Iraq would surly only further fuel the insurgency. In WWII the Germans and British both thought bombing cites would break the will of the enemy, but it didn’t it only increased their resolve.

    The Iraqis did 9/11? Even Bush says there is no connection.

    There is a reason he is a shop teacher. He doesen't sound too bright and is pretty glib about the situation as a whole. Don't waste your time arguing with him, he'll never get it.

    Tell him to join Mp.Net and post his comment in the Political Discussions and Rants section, that should shut him up.

    that fact is he has NEVER been in any sort of combat situation but talks about the mass destruction of civilian centers so easily...thats what gets me angry.

    If he brings up the argument again tell him to read a history book, WWII Briton getting bombed didn't work, Vietnam didn't work. Unforchantly I'm not that intelligent but luckily for me and all the members of MP.net there are a lot of smart gents here, On that note Cheers.
