James:

If you haven't noticed, we ARE right in the middle of the right place to
find enemies... if you don't think there are tightly knit groups of
radicals right in Iraq and most of the other surrounding countries, think
again... better to fight them there than here... at least the gauntlet has
been thrown down on foreign soil and the battles and war can take place
there... life goes on as usual here, children attend school, retired people
vacation and there are NO suicide bombings or terrorist attacks--there is
enough there to busy their hands... let the war stay there...

Warmest regards,
John

Let's get real, there are two of our VERY LARGE, VERY expensive buildings
missing in New York. Thousands of Americans died in those buildings.
There
was a large hole in our pentagon, site of our most holy protection for
this
land. One plane was headed towards the Whitehouse, another of our most
holy
political sites--before it was downed. There are a few airplanes of ours
which were destroyed in these attacts--and American lives lost on each and
everyone of these aircraft.

For starts about a third of the people that dies inteh WTC were
foreign nationals working here in the US. So before you get down and
pray to the missing phallic symbols, remember that not only Americans
dies in NY. There is no positive conclusive belief that the fourth
plane was targeted toteh Capitol Building or the Whitehouse. There is
circumstancial evedince only.

Secondly there is nothing "Holy" about the Pentagon or teh buildings
that house our legislature or executive offices.

Anyone who does not want to go after those who did THAT, with every
resource
at our disposal, is either a coward, terrorist themselves, or an idiot.
And, the radical muslims will point blank tell you that you have three
choices--join them, be enslaved by them or die. Any rational person would
choose a fourth--they die!

Well then why are we in Iraq? UBL was never in Iraq nor were any of
his training bases. I will admit that he may have had recruiting
centers in Iraq. UBL is most likely in the Xinjiang province of China.
We had him cornered in Tora Bora and let him get away. So it seems
that the tough talking cowboy from Texas has lost his swagger or at
least his intention to go after UBL. Maybe it was tough talk and
nothing more.


We simply don't have a choice in this matter...


*****
Yes we always have choices. All to often the mouth engages before the
brain and then choices are all to often removed.

Personally I do not like the idea of fighting radicals like the
insurgents of Iraq on their home land. Not a good strategy. They will
play the game of attritian. They will die to remove us. The only way
to fight that kind of fight was lost two years ago. We should have
pacified the country and we did not. Now we have to fight a war in
which the enemy refuses to show their face.

They are willing to sacrifice bodies to kill us. Each one of them that
dies is a hero and a martyr. In reality we can never truly win in
Iraq. The best that we now can hope for is a situation where both
sides will grow so tired of fighting that they wish to quit. Five
years from now Iraq will be an Islamic state very much like Iran.
Irregardless of what we do now. I predict that the democracy that we
set up, will not last beyond five yrs.

Well, a cleaver man (group) could escalate it, wipe 'em out and be back to
business... it has been done before--I think of this time period as giving
them a chance--frankly, I think that time has just about ended, I am ready
for a more aggressive stance...

Warmest regards,
