So do I. I hope they kick ass, take names and get home fast, but I still believe we should never have gone there.

How many more Iraqis would die if we hadn't gone there (or Afghanistan?) Wedidn'tgo to Rwanda either, and "only" 800,000 died. We can stay out of every conflict and avoid U.S. casualties (until they come here.) Certainly, we are not the policemen of the world, but to knowingly allow slaughter when we could do something about it, seems morally repugnant. Could Hussein give WMD's to terrorist that could attack us directly? Who knows. I personally am concerned with these dictators that slaughter thousands (or millions) with no worry about retribution (it is obvious that the UN has never held anyone responsible for mass murder.) Therefore, I believe that the belief of these tyrants that the US and its allies will hold them responsible is actually a deterrent. And yes, I did serve in the military during time of war and understand the trepidations of the morality of battle.

I suppsoe you would rather the Islamo-fascists be here killing us, instead of us there killing them. Get your head out of your rear end man!
