Funny how you are talking about them wanting to fight you whereas it's you who are talking about going there and fighting them. It pays to sort out who your enemies are first, and why. Before saying "if you are not with us, you are against us". That's the slogan the Bolsheviks used to slaughter millions of "enemies of the peple".
Despite what some people here are saying, we do have the means to deal with a billion enemies.
Do you really want to declare a billion people your enemies? I think this is exactly what the terrorists wanted.
On the other hand, I'm not willing to declare a billion people our "friends" either. I live in New York. I saw with my own eyes what they did here. And I will stay, even though I know these same people would love nothing more than to nuke us or hit us with a bio/chem attack.
Given the risks involved (the lives of millions of Americans), I expect people to prove their friendship and goodwill toward us. If they are unwilling or unable to do that, then they are--as our President has said--our enemies.
Pretty clear, I think.

Isn't it infuriating when something is so bloody obvious and the knee-jerk armchair warriors and their vanguard microphone-hogging leaders are unable or unwilling to see it? I think if Osama had passed wind in some remote cave somewhere these neocons would have taken it as a clear sign that a world war was in order. They do have the dialectic down very well, that you have to hand them.
