But to that point do we consider the outcome of WW2 to be that the "good guys" won? In today's age the "good guys" would have been made to be the bad guys. Shit happens in war, if a war is "just" like the one in Afghanistan (not so much Iraq) then why should we make the private that threw a grenade into a room that had people shooting at him and killed 5 people; 3 of whom were woman/children the bad guy?

I'm sorry but war is hell shit happens, until we live in an Utopian society that is a fact of life.

A lot of the moderators are too young to recall anything prior to 2000. They might not have noticed the "invasion in early 90s" because they didn't even recall that a war had happened, and just assumed "Iraq invasion" referred to Bsuh, Cheney, and so on.

Seeing as we didn't "invade" Iraq in the early 90's and the current war is much bigger it is understandable were people would be confused. Not to mention the fact that the Euro wasn't even around in 1990 so i don't know why we would go to war because Iraq was going to start selling oil in a currency that was still 2+ years from being used anywhere.

In Gulf Storm we did enter Iraq but did not invade it in a traditional sense. We even had truly legitimate reasons for going into Kuwait and removing the Iraqi forces.

or somebody happens to break into your account and they disable it

Happens to break into your account? How does that happen?

I'd like to know your opinion on online banking.

I've had my account hacked after playing CS:S for the first time in 5 years. They have some way to get your account info if you connect to certain servers. Trust me i didn't give my account info away or even have a weak re-used password. I got an email confirming that my password was changed then that my email was changed. I email Valve within 20 minutes of the last email and got no response for almost 2 weeks.

So its very possible for your account to get hacked and them to take a long time to fix it in which case if the account hijacker hacks on a VAC server your account will be banned and even if they see it was hijacked during that time will not unban you.

Don't get me wrong I still use Steam and that was the only bad experience I've had with them.

Oh come on... It's better than any other war in history that was fought with weapons that go BOOM from far distances. There will always be collateral damage in wars, there is no perfect solution or answer. We have increased the amount of money to kill one enemy immensely so that we can minimize CD and that should be see as a huge step forward.

For those against the war in Afghanistan I always love to hear what other options we had or have.

This was already solved by the Storm 2, it has a capacitive touchscreen with software that mimics tactile resistance. This means you have to actually "Click" on the screen to "left click." This solves the hover problem on the storms unfortunately the current browser sucks so it doesn't help much but it is doable. I actually prefer to type on it than my iPhone.
