You are losing the big picture. This is our outpost, our place in the middle east. I guess you may think it is not our job, and maybe it isn't, but it is in our interests to have a democratic country there. Otherwise we wouldn't be there. The point is that Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism are married in that part of the world and we are simply trying to effect a divorce first. Show people some freedom, give them a chance to have a secular democracy, and tyrants and terrorists cannot take them over. You need a long view Greg,,somehow your view is very short.

So we gonna kill em all now? As long as they are not over on this side of the ocean doing evil they go on killing each other. Like I said it's not our job to civilize people. Especially if we get our brave fighters killed in the process.
