Muhammadans have been attacking 'the west' since the cult was invented. It's a jihad against all mankind, between Islam and the infidel.
People have just forgotten, or have never been taught history. Or taught a very distorted revisionist version of it.
Our loses so far are 1/25th the loses we experienced in Vietnam. So, casualty-wise, Vietnam was 25 Iraq Wars. Lets see where we are in two years just prior to the next full elections. My guess is that by that time there will be 1/25th the number of Islamic extremist terrorists still remaining in Iraq by then.
Dead on Forte Runningrock. These battles go all the way back to the Barbary Treaties, and our nations first war waged outside our own borders.
There's a reason why the shores of Tripoli appear in the Marine Corp Hymn!
I agree. I do think we could leave Japan and/or Germany---but for different bases in, say, Poland or Afghanistan. But one of the reasons the French are worse to us than the Germans is that we did not maintain a permanent presence there.
Right, I agree. That's why I posted what I posted. In context.
After all, Islamofascists have been attacking US and other western interests since at least the 1970`s. Some people believe it goes back even further. Some folks believe crazed Muslim fundamentalists have been around since Mohammad first formed the "peaceful" religion and began killing his enemies. Enemies of Islam means, anyone whose not a Muslim.

There are alot of people who have been misinformed or never properly educated in world history. So, what else is new?
