If I had family that lived in NYC or Washington, DC, I'd worry that they'd
be killed by a terrorist attack. Unlike you, I believe that rebuilding Iraq
into a Democracy, and maintaining military bases there as a deterrent (or
launching point) against other terrorist-sponsoring countries, will
ultimately make us safer in our own cities. In the 1940's, our country felt
they had the moral authority to send young men to Europe to fight against
the Germans because they knew that what was happening over there would one
day affect us.



Sitting around idly while terrorists take pot shots at us is no way to live.

I guarantee you'd be singing a different tune if they were between 18 and
25
years old and Nookular Boy was calling for more soldiers.

4 months, 2 years, and 4 years. That's why I want those maniacs dealt
with
now.

3000 people likely wouldn't have died in the WTC if a certain prior
President dealt with bin Laden when he had the chance...and the 300 or
so
soldiers that recently were killed in Iraq likely wouldn't have died if
Bush
41 didn't worry so much about what the UN thought, and marched
Schwarzkopff
into Baghdad in the first Gulf War.

Mark,
I think the absolute worst thing that could happen would be if a guy
like
Dean won the Presidency and pulled us out of Iraq too soon. The
repercussions would be awful. "Rack up enough US casualties, get
the
media
to play along, and we can control the infidels".

At least if a guy like World War III Wesley was in charge, we could
be
sure
he'd probably nuke someone over there before long...and that can't
be
*all*
bad.


Hey...you're starting to sound like my father, around 1968-1969, who
thought
we should "throw everything we've got" at North Vietnam. Suddenly,
when
I
got my draft card, he got a little antsy about what was going on over
there.

How old are YOUR kids, NOYB?
