-- No, it doesn't make sense to me, because terrorists whose goal is to blow up American cities will come to American cities, not to Iraq, in order to blow up American cities. Keeping them out -- keeping us safe -- means guarding our borders. And we're not doing that. Some "war on terror," when the terrorists can walz right in from Mexico or Canada.
A real war on terror means guarding the homeland. Ask Sharon - he put up a wall to fight terror. But we have a "come on in" policy.

We're only fighting one front in a two-front war. It's a bit silly to trundle off and fight Osama at his house, but leave our back door standing wide open with a neon sign that says, "INVADE USA HERE."
Securing our borders is very much a part of the WoT. Why do we have to wait for al Qaeda to exploit that opening and kill more Americans before we close it?
Almost four years now, NOTHING NADA ZERO ZILCH. It's very hard to control thousand miles or more of land border. So it appears that instead have stuck our CBP and CIA at all sea and airports of entry throughout N.A..
It's worked so far.
