Come on now, don't be rediculous. Of coarse the goals of wars are to win...but that's pretty illogical to say that because of that they're all the same. There are types of wars, and each war needs its own appropriate funding. To equate WWII with the Iraq War is just utterly rediculous.

I am NOT equating WWII with the Iraq War - so you can just stop that crap.

I asked a question: By your definition, is there such a thing as "conventional war" anymore?

In addition, my point still stands: The goal of war is to win. Period.

No, you equated it by attempting to justify a large deficit because in WWII we had one.

If the enemy sets up a missle launcher right next to a UN outpost and is launching missles and the UN guys don't have any weapons to stop them, what is Israel supposed to do to protect it's citizens?

If you're attempting to tie this into the bombing of a UN outpost that happened recently, then you must actually prove to me that Hezbollah were launching missiles right next to it.

Why don't you just ask me if I'm still beating my wife. Its called a presupposition question fallacy.

Let's just pretend this really happened. What would you do if you were Israel?
