This was featured on the Morning Show with Bob Clark. There were a lot of calls for both sides of the issue.

The men and women who have given there all in the fight for freeing other people from tyranny should be remembered, and the cause not forgotten.

The war with Islamic fundamentalism will go on and on and on. It has for 2000 years and will continue.

Of course they are linked. Iraq is but one theater of operations in the global war against Islamofacism.
