You again.....Your problem is that you come from a fast food society, a fix it fast up bringing, when the "world:" doesn't work like that. All you see is what CNN and the liberals tell you or show you, and that is death and destruction. How soon you forget how long the world war took (longer) and how soon you forget how long the reconstruction took of those country's (longer), how soon you forget that the battle of Iwo Jima killed 7,000 Marines and 30,000 Japanese in 30 days! How soon you forget that the reconstruction of Japanese took 10 years. How soon you forget that the battle of Stalingrad killed some 3-4 MILLION soldiers and civilians both from Germany and Russia, how soon you forget that the reconstruction of Russia and Germany took decades, how soon you forget that in one battle in Korea that Chinese lost 17,000 troops in less than 15 minutes trying to overrun an artillery unit, and reconstruction is still taking place in North Korea, where people starve to feed their war machine!
