The real reason we are in Iraq is to establish a working front against these terrorists. We need to preemptively get to them before they get to us more than they already have. This war is only a piece in the puzzle, my friend. We still have much to change as far as domestic security, but this war is certainly not a mistake by any stretch of the logical and realistic imagination.
True THAT - you are so, so correct - I pray that many more Americans (voters) will learn, and “get it”. Our leaving and “staying out of it” is no longer a rational possibility and, rather than solving “the problem”, would assuredly create an accelerated opportunity for Iran to achieve their oft-stated goal. The shiites and Ahmedinejad are singularly commanded (by Allah) to hasten the “second coming” of their messiah the 12th Imam, which can only come about by creating a cataclysm of much magnitude that it requires the blood and annihilation of millions and millions of non-Muslims.
Sorry to be so lengthy because I sense you understand this already.
I'm not afraid of letters, my friend.
Islam is the enemy. It has been for centuries and will remain so, unless we as a nation consume ourselves into the cause of ridding the world of it; just like The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, both World Wars, and the Cold War. Passivity is not an option here. Our survival is threatened and our part in history is to not fail the mission or we will be counted as a losing nation in the end.
