If these terrorist left the west alone and stayed stoning the guilty, raping their women, killing anything that says no, then we probably would not have hit them. Those bastards hit us for years and they thought we would just sit on our a@@es and do nothing? And what hurts me most is a huge portion of Americans just don't get it. Damn, we are at war, and if we quit, we will be attacked so hard it will cripple us.

Something I read a while ago (Dr. Benard Lewis?). This is a civil war inside Islam, and we are collateral damage. Remember the modern Islamic terrorist movement started out wanting to overthrow the leaders of the Arab world.
