  Though, it is not impossible for the US to conquer the entire world by its military might, it is equally true, as pointed out by Sandeep, managing and controlling the conquered territory for a much longer period of would be an unrealisable task for the US, even if it was backed by the whole EU.

  "And US had guts else they wouldnt have killed 5 lacs in one Bomb in Japan."
  
  US scientists did not split the atom. And although actual construction of the bomb was supervised by the US government, the scientists who worked on it were largely foreign.
  
  
  "They could have got all countries surrendered to US,"
  
  Not quite. You are the assuming the US had 1000's of atomic bombs, which it did not!

  "US is finding it difficult to handle Afganistan and Iraq together, what whole world will they control."
  
  Exactly. Just like the US took a severe beating in Vietnam, the same is happening in Iraq and to a lesser extent in Afghanistan. The US is not alone - Russia cannot win with the Chechyans.
  They attacked Iraq only for OIL.

  "They attacked Iraq only for OIL."
  
  Very true. And now the whole Muslim world is against the US. The US government has even set up a Homeland Security Department. The essential problem with US foreign policy is blind support to Israel. Until the US fixes this, many more attacks on US are inevitable.

  Right now the US foreign policy is one of paranoia. Instead of taking prevention measures, policy is designed along the lines of total elimination. This total elimination policy has one major drawback - whatever it fails to "eliminate" will return strike the aggressor.
  
  
• From: R (@ host-69-95-99-77.mil.choiceone.net) on: Tue Oct 19 02:08:03 EDT 2004
  
  Now the primary question left is, what can be eliminated and what cannot? In the present situation, the US has attempted to weaken the hand of Al Quieda - yet it has not captured Bin-Laden. Iraq has been invaded - but Saddam Hussain never had the capability to strike the US, because of UN sanctions. Whereas North Korea is very advanced in terms of nuclear capabilities. By invading Iraq, the US gained a valuable economic resource - oil - but lost the support of European allies. As a result of which, insufficient man-power has resulted in a chaotic Iraqi ground situation, with the Muslim insurgent movement actually growing - counterproductive to the original aim.

  Above commentary actually demonstrates that a foreign policy based on armed aggression is self-destructive. In the present scenario, many European nations have pledged not to send troops to Iraq, regardless of Nov. 2 US elections. One can surmise then, if the US cannot contain the ground-situation in Iraq, US will leave, and Iraq will degenerate into civil war. From such a civil war will emerge an anti-US regime, no doubt on par with Libya & North Korea. Such a regime may well sponser an attack on US infrastructure, clearly validating the original hypothesis.

  In Washington D.C., there is a memorial for US soldiers who died in Vietnam. The casualty rate exceeds 50,000. Such a high number must be considered in light of guerilla war tactics employed by the North Vietnamese. The same tactics have also been used successfully by Sri Lankan LTTE, Che Guevera in Cuba, Chechyan rebels in Chechnya, and now, by Muslim insurgents in Iraqi. Stealth - not technology - makes the difference in guerilla warfare. Of course the total elimination does not account for this. So expect to see very high casualty rates on the US side!

  Bush calls the War on terror "A war that cannot be Own".
  
  Senator Kerry says "We can reduce it to a level of nuisence".
  
  There is an increasing understanding in US administration as well as people that this war cannot be won only by military might. They are planning for a long term messure for energy Independence from Middle East(Iraq, Saudi etc). There by US will not have any interest in that region. In case of North Korea they are using China as the center player instead of getting involved directly.

  US has no previous experience in terrorism. Its something new for them. They thought defeat the enemies military and we own. So much so that after the initial war they disbanded the Iraqi army and didnot even protect nuclear facilities and borders.

  "There is an increasing understanding in US administration as well as people that this war cannot be won only by military might."
  
  As you have said, the primary reason for invasion was and still is oil. If they left Iraq, no more oil. And a reversion to the former dictatorship. Just like when they abandoned South Vietnam, the communist Vietcong took over. So it is a very tight situation indeed. The optimum solution is to form a NATO-like coalition, but most of Europe is hostile to the present US (Bush) administration.

  Some senior administrator in US have said that their plan was that once they win the war they will pull a large junk of their forces leaving minimum US forces back in Iraq. In their place NATO and Group of Arab nations and UN pease keeping forces will come. But NATO plan failed as french and germens didnt support, Arabs also where not ready to get into Iraq, no country contributed to the UN pease keeping force.

  wrong india - or Arya - Vartha is the richest country in the world.......
  
  its just that the Shitish British and the sewage that flows through their veins are living of the wealth of India.........
  
  for every spoonful of their food they eat they scoop the insides out of the richest children in the world..........
  
  the children of India and Africa and other nations where the losers have stolen from.......
  
  no wonder their racist faces rot and pop just like the Pringles advert advertises...........
  
  once you pop, you just cant stop.................
  
  and they are proud of having sewage flowing through their veins..........................
  
  thats not an insult to every day British people but those losers who are deluded enough to believe they are royalty or something special because they have sewage flowing through their veins - hence the Shitish British - poetic justice or what...............................

  its the Kali-Yug age of quarrel and hypocrisy and also the age of illusion.................

  therefore the world is full of illusions and the people who look poor are actually the richest people in the world and the losers who LOOK rich are actually the poorest thieving tramps of the global community who are proud to have blood that when compared to sewage - makes the sewage of animals look like crystal clear mineral water from the heavens......and its all from their own actions - and they are proud to be the worlds biggest bunch of rotting popping losers..........
  
  GREAT BRITAIN - for every spoon of food they eat they scoop the insides out of the TRUE owners of their so called wealth...........................
  
  the intelligence of fools needs deluded fools to follow them so they can create more nonsensical nonsense - after all a nations of fools need more fools to make them look normal hence the age of illusion......deception, quarrel and hypocrisy.......after all only fools are proud to have blood that makes sewage look clear......

  REVERSE THE CURSE you losers and then your nation won't keep producing descendents of cheats cowards and charlatans everytime a white British national has a child...........
  
  this way you losers can put the GREAT back into Britian - we all make mistakes.................
  
  like a school report card - a child may do really well in their first few years, and then something might happen in their life that will change that..........
  
  there behaviour will decline and they might behave like a madman BUT that doesnt make them one and more importantly they deserve the chance to fight back for who they were...........
  
  as for the British - their school report card was soiled they day they put their decaying paws and claws on it and left a trail of sh#t that flies wouldn't even hover near.........................
