I like Obama but I dissagree on him being ready. It takes more than just intelligence to be president. He is naive. He has demonstrated this in debates. Claiming he will meet with all of our enemies within his 1st year of office. It is a nice idea but it wont happen.

He talks of change but I dont see him producing it.

We need somone with strong Foriegn policy experience in a time like this. I have not seen him one acknowledge the surge working in Iraq. I like Huckabee but I dont think i could support him either because he does not seem to be strong in that area either. The War on Terror is one we cant afford to lose.

 The war on terror is such a sham, even during the cold war we met with the Soviets, its how we were able to ease tensions and prevent a neculear war, we have to be willing to meet with others and discuss thing, this will never be decided on the battlefield, we have to win it through changing hearts and minds, and that can only work if we are seen as a nation that isn't arrogant but is willing to work with others

This is how we met with the soviets after not even talking with echother for a while.

Reagan built up the US army to ridiculus size.  He built tons of Nuclear Warheads put them in Europe pointed them at Russian cities.  They even had the name of the cities on the rockets.  He then told the Soviets he was ready to talk.  That is called negotiating out of strength. 

The War in Iraq should of never of happend it had nothing to do with the War on Terror but now it does.  The War on Terror is not a sham.  It is one where we need to act in many different ways.  We need to remove terrorist organizations through military power.  We need to change the out look of America to a positive one through organization like the peace Corp.  We need to remove political corruption by diplomatic negoations.  If we lose and lay down and say we quit it will look like the USA is weak.  We will be attacked again if we do not fight this war.  We need to keep it on thier battlefield.

 

 Umm...they had nukes pointed at us, its called Mutually assured destruction, it wasn't negotionation out of strength it was negotiation because to do otherwise was stupidity, any nuclear conflict would have killed the human species.

 

The war on terror is a sham, most people in the muslim world don't want it, but they view the US as arrogant and threatening, if we show them that we are looking for peace, not conflict then we give the the moderates the reason to step up and push for reforms and balance in their nations, if we try to settle this on the battlefield we will only drive more into the arms of the terrorists.  You are right about the negotiations however we do need to neotate, but to negotiate we have to be seen as cooperative, not arrogant
