These idiots don't even realize that Iraq has become the center for the war on terrorism. The terrorists, are for the first time, playing defense and protecting their home turf. Instead of planning attacks on America, they are too busy coelescing in Iraq trying to prevent a face-lift that could change their world forever. The war in Iraq is not a distraction from the war on terrorism...it has become a destraction for the terorists who must now defend the home-front. We can either fight this war in the streets of America or in their backyard. I prefer the latter. And at least this way we have a fighting chance since they are going up against the US military instead of innocent civilians. It is without doubt a bloody mess, but if we can get these terrorists in one location (Iraq) we have a better chance of solving this problem.

I don't completely agree with you. Terrorism is not limited to Iraq and the ones over there are not completely Iraqi defending their homeland. There are a large assortment of groups in there that do not live there, and were brought in because the Iraqi people, as a whole, do not want a war fought on their turf either. The only group gaining by this type of conflict is the Baath Party and Saddam. They have observed the Korean, Vietnamese, Balkan, Yugoslavia, Sumalia, and Haitian conflicts and they are of the opinion we will leave if we get enough headaches from them. And there seems to be a never ending amount of people willing to die for their cause (and will die).
