Huck,
You must have been asleep in the 90's. We dropped ordnance on Iraq on almost a weekly basis as well as attacking four other nations in 1998.
We just can't allow these failed nation states to cause terror anymore. This will take years. Every Islamacist that dies in Iraq is one we won't have to kill somewhere else.
And I frankly don't care how many "new" terrorists we're creating. If you take up arms against the civilized world . . . you die!
"We just can't allow these failed nation states to cause terror anymore."
I agree. When is the invasion of Saudi Arabia scheduled?
