Well, no, I don't think either of us should think that the problems we face with terrorism can be exaggerated. But I don't believe that either the War on Terrorism or the War in Iraq will be won or lost depending on whether Spain withdraws 1,300 troops from Iraq in June.

Maybe I'm just more confident than you are about our ability to handle the Iraqi situation on our own. ;-)

This is about so much more than Iraq. It's mind-boggling to consider that folks don't understand that....

No one is saying that, physically, we are in more danger. But on a psychological level the terrorists have gotten a boost. Seeing that they have been able to influence an election, what might they be emboldened to do? Having made one of our allies fall away, might they target more?

If the left remains noisy and our elections look close, might they take a shot?
