Excellent Pacridge we do see some things eye to eye. However when I think back to Sept.11 01 as well as the war in Afganistan that started in OCT of 01. I knew we were going to Iraq. I had some people tell me it was going to be Syria or Iran however I knew it was going to be Iraq. Iraq would be the easiest to get consensus for from the UN. They had ignored all the damn resolutions that the UN had passed. It should have been unanimous vote for the action. However the UN as well as other countrys didn't want to hold Iraq reponsible or accountable. So now Jihad Jonny and the rest of the towel head brigade are going to Iraq to fight the great infadel. I say awsome lets do the killing over there as much as we can.. I remeber the night Bush gave his speech to the duel sessions of congress and told the world your with us or your with the terrorists. He spelled it out very clear what was coming. I think the other nations in the world should have payed attention.Even if Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9-11, which it didn't. And even if invading them casued there to be more terrorist in Iraq then there were before, which it did. Then now it most certainly is part of the war on terror. It wouldn't have needed to be this way, but you can't unring a bell now can you? Which is why so many countries and so people advise against this whole mess. We could have stayed in Afghanistan and either finished or be finishing that job. But it's too late for all that thinking now. Now we're there. Now we got to do this and doing it is ugly work. Like it or not. And pulling out isn't an option either becasue the power vaccuum that would create would cause an even bigger mess then the one we've already created. We have to stay, finnish the job and support our troops.
