Hear, hear! I'm as disgusted with Saddam, Iraq, and their 'Islamic brothers' as anyone else, but I am afraid that the administration hasn't completely thought this through. After an invasion/regime change, then what? How do we keep the region stable? Do we keep troops there? How many? How long? How will it affect our other commitments (Afghanistan, Korea, Japan, Europe)?
Someone in another thread said that we must constantly review our policies and reduce our presence if possible. We may eventually find ourselves in the position of having troops all over the world but with none to protect the homeland.

The concerns you raise are valid, and fortunately they are being taken care of by President Bush. For eight years Clinton-Gore neglected and belittled the military. Bush, thankfully, is for a strong national defense, so he will dedicate the proper resources and draw up the right contingency plans.
