Exactly.

I have several relaties who have fought in Iraq and Afgan and some still thee and one in Africa.

They have seen what the enemy has done first hand.
One relative, a Dr. with the 1st Marines was one of the first into Bagdad in 2003.

Living in a city with the largest concentration of military, you hear first hand what is going on and
how so many in Iraq appreciate what we have done.

Here in San Diego we have over 30,000 Iraqis.
When Sadam was captured, I saw a large number of them along with Kurds in their native costums and music and dancing on the Federal Bldg. Plaza here with signs, Thank You Pres. Bush.

That must have been neat to see it..

Also dictator who hates (like Hugo Chavez) can make any excuse to declare war on us.

My gut feeling is that Hugo may try to attack Colombia (our true friend in that region) and it depends who win this election.. If McCain wins not gonna happen.. If Obama wins, look out. But according to Ron Paul and fellow live in the past numnuts we should just ignore the problem..
