"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]
"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
U.S. must be stronger, not weaker, in Iraq
It is not possible for the United States to avoid involvement in this struggle. While Americans see the Iraq war mainly through the prism of partisan politics, the stakes go beyond the issue of Bushs place in history. When this presidents term is completed, the problems he faced will remain, and history will also judge those who come after.
There's no escape.

It's a known fact Putin's Russia continues arming Iran & Syria with the means to wage war. Syria and Iran are responsible for infiltrating jihadist killers into Iraq who in turn murder American and other Coalition troops, however there are few arch defenders of Putin on FR, which is tantamount to giving aid & comfort to the weapons supplying enemy behind our enemies.
