Those American forces fighting in Iraq are stemming the probability that similar altercations don't happen here in America.

BTTT. Our forces there are attracting them like flies to a pile of manure. To the extent that they go there, they aren't here in our streets attacking our largely unarmed, unprotected populace. To the extent that we kill them, they can't kill any more innocents. Our soldiers are heroes, because they willingly go in Harm's way to protect us - and the strategy is smart because it keeps the vermin far away from our homes.

You are correct. However, our troops are not being supported by a large group of limp-d*ck politicians. The generals in charge should act more like generals and stop pacifying and appeasing the Iraqi government. The Iraqis need to do more to maintain their life without saddam.
