Re: iraq
Your missing the point.!!!
It's not about Iraq....its about the message that you give those who are sympathetic to their cause.
If you lay down when someone walks into your house and kills your family you set a dangerous presedent; they will eventually realize that you are weak and will attack at will. But if you do the opposite and show strength and are proactive then the message is clear.
We must realize that the actions in Afghanistan, via Al-Queda, represent a small portion of organized terror factions in the world. Even in its suprisingly organized abilities they are poorly funded and organized in comparison to what a highly organized aniti - American country like Iraq can be and is. This is why Americans must do what we are doing.
Actually the US has offered more in releaf than any other country....by far; and mostly to countries that we are in conflict with...ie Afghanistan, and Iraq during desert storm. . This is widely known.!! I am actually suprised to see a response opposing this well known fact.
As for the rest I am weary of defending a ritous position.
"all i have to say is that americans are war junkies and george w. bush is lacking in the brains department."
I guess everone's entitled to their oppinion. It must be nice to sit in the relative shadow of the predominant super power of the world. !!! However we will be supressing no oppinions here today.
