Ugh, aren't you posting on the wrong forum.

I think your probably trying to be well meaning.

However, the cowardly pacifists anti-American liberals (Democrats) in this country will someday get a lot of Americans needlessly killed.

Why? Because they want to bury their heads and hope the savage terrorists go away.

"Ugh, aren't you posting on the wrong forum."

No, unless this is an exercise in political cheerleading, rather than discussion amongst free thiking individuals. I tried a liberal forum and they banned me after a week.

I think Bush and other interventionists already have. As Pat Buchanon said tonight, they are over here because we are over there. This would not have happened if we weren't pursuing 'empire.'
Many conservatives and independents are anti-interventionist. You may label them as liberals, but that kind of peer pressure doesn't work on independent thinkers. The republican party has gone neo-con, but it doesn't mean traditional conservatives will follow along. Pat said terrorism is like a cancer, and now it has metastisized because of the war in Iraq, which I don't believe had anything to do with terrorism originally. Now you have insurgents you call terrorists because they don't want us there. The line blurs. Anyone who opposes the US running their country is a terrorist or one who sympathizes? Now, many of you don't like Pat anymore, because he doesn't follow the neo-con line and wimp out when under pressure from neo-cons to cave in, but he has more sense than all the neo-cons put together. When someone says something that makes sense, listen, rather than trying to make your theories fit. This is a complicated issue that can't be resolved with one solution.

"Why? Because they want to bury their heads and hope the savage terrorists go away."

Some people pick and choose their battles, and do their best to support policies that don't provoke resentment, such as our constant meddling in other nations' affairs. I support them, regardless of their "party" or "political identity." This American empire building began LONG before terrorism and resistance to American global hegemony. What do we expect when we sent coverts overseas to overthrow people's governments and use any and all means to control other people's resources? People will resist and I don't blame them because I would do the same. They don't trust our government's motives, nor do I.
