Re: Rear axle tube bent in collision, how to bend back?
 

I like the trucks the contractors drive in Iraq:

Makes me want to put a mount for a .50 cal over the rear seat of my Jeep :)

The problem with your way of thinking, is that we are not hurting the
"terrorists" by what we are doing in Iraq. We are just helping them to
inflame their thousand year old rivalries into civil war. You have to learn
to cut your losses in life, or you're screwed. Maybe you don't remember
Vietnam.

Re: Rear axle tube bent in collision, how to bend back?
 

What exactly is the problem if the "terrorists" get stuck with a big chunk
of sand, and the rest get all the natural resources? It sounds like a good
idea to me. They can make tourist souvenirs out of it, and sell them to all
the European tourists that are sure to come, once the hostilities die down.
They can make housing out of it, and they can eat it for all I care. Maybe
if we told our "friends" the Saudis to stop funding them, they might even
calm down to the point, where all the other groups in the region could live
in peace with them.

Now don't get me wrong. I had nothing against bombing the sh*t out of a few
million Arabs and Muslims for what they did to New York, but the point where
we got hung up, was trying to help them establish a "democratic" country
afterwards. This of course refers to both Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe
these folks didn't want a democratic form of government, or to be our
friends. Maybe all they wanted was to be left to kill each other in peace.
People in Washington act like they never read the Tar Baby story.
