If we don't fight evil overseas, we will have to fight it on our own shores.

This I don't understand. What I'm saying is that with my military training we were always taught that the terrorists liked soft targets and avoided the hard.

It seems to me that our troops in Iraq are the hard targets. In other words why haven't they targeted us, the homeland, the soft target?

could it be that tracking the terrorists by monitoring their overseas contacts and following the money, which Bush has staked everything on, has actually worked?

This tired argument that somehow because we are fighting sunnis and shiites in Iraq alqueda has less capability to strike the U.S. never had any logic behind it. It took only twelve men to topple the towers and kill 3000. Does anyone really think that alqueda cannot find another twelve because they are all fighting in Iraq. This is senseless and is a poor argument for "staying the course" in Iraq.

GET A CALENDAR. FIND SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. NEVER FORGET ... and listen to the WORDS of those who first target us with words because that's all they have--thus far--to strike us with. Read the book of Nehemiah. And read Proverbs.
