Iffen we're not over there... the Sunnis and Shi'ites will be more concerned with killing eachother (Heck, they're awfully enthusiastic for killing eachother now).
And there is the fatal flaw to your argument. That is simply not true. They'll be over here, or in other Western countries. History has proved that out.
Oh wait - we were PROBABLY over there when 9/11 happened right?

Excuse me. Apparently you don’t remember Sept 11th and don’t understand that the WOT is not limited to Iraq & Afghanistan, never has been. The terrorists have killed us and our allies in other countries as well as here for many years. Nor is it limited to Sunnis and Shi’ites.
This is truly a World War and won’t be over anytime soon - though you and Ron Paul and many others haven’t figured it out yet.
Yes, we need to tend to things at home (just as we did during WWII), but if we don’t continue to take the fight to the enemy, just as we did in WWII, we won’t have to worry about much in the future.
