Saddaam was/is a nutball and murdering, thieving tyrant. Now that this is out of the way, let's look at the strategic importance of having our forces tied down in Iraq and unable to be used to further our forcefulness in foreign policy. Does it make you feel safer to know that NK can thumb their nose at us and continue with their nuclear program because they know we are tied down with Iraq? The same can be said with Iran, with Russia continuing to support their program in defiance of the US.

The big picture shows that Russia and China are the biggest supporters of terrorism in the world. They use client states such as Iran, Iraq, NK, Sudan, Kosovo, to further their campaign against the United States. Moving to Central and South America, they are involved up to their eyeballs in Cuba, Venzuela, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and we set here letting the takeover continue while arguing over WMD's being found or missing in Iraq. Iraq is the perfect diversion.

We sleep while the rest of the world moves on into the Islamic-commie partnership of tyranny, wasting our resources on a straw-man. We proclaim that a former KGB head is a decent and honorable man which we can trust. How in the hell do you suppose he got to be head of the KGB? China is our friendly trading partner, and using our trade deficit to build up their fleet and install more missiles against Tiawan.

If we and our leaders don't wake up soon we will be conversing in Russian and Chinese dialects. This is my opinion and I grant you I am not an anti-war bigot supporting the socialist take-over but am worried about the future of our country. There is too much ideological chatter and not enough thinking at the present time. A house divided will be a weaker house if we don't get our head out of our proverbial ass.

Wholeheartedly agree with you and unfortunately the administration has strong opposition--like the democrats, the United Nations --if by going into Iraq, who probably the US knew would be an easy country totake over, we could not get UN and the democrats on board, how are we to go military and invade CHina or other countries? The battle is one step at a time and you go after the smaller countries and slowly work your way up. President Bush never said this was the only battle in the war against terrorism. It is to be a slow and tedious process.

Imagine if President BUsh loses and Dean or Clark or Hillary make it to the WHite House. This battle against the bigger rogue nations will come to a screeching halt. Whining and name calling or vehemently disagreeing with the president just adds ammunition and fuels the fire of dissent. This upcoming election is so critical and even here in the free republic those of us who argue and namecall are just adding to the hysteria.

We seem to think that President BUsh is the enemy and his whole administration is no good. That is quite the contrary and I will continue to defend the president b/c he is the best we have--

The attackers (I must admit you were one of them) of the president do no good b/c that further divides the cause that we so much need to win. We are doing so much more than Clinton ever did and it angers me to see that our own country betrays us with the slime ball democrats attacking the president and arguing about the WMD.

Agreed. This is one of the major thesis of my book series, The Dragon's Fury Series.

I still believe we should have taken Iraq down...we just need to be watching and completely prepared for other hammers to fall and changing our basic polict towards them.

In that book series, we are drug into a real major war in the Middle East a few years after Iraqi Freedom and then must respond to a major military action by N. Korea against the South.

China professes nuetrality and appears to try and negotiate as we send major forces across the Pacific to intervene. As we approach Korea, those forces are ambushed by the Chinese while hundreds and hundreds of terrorists unleash unholy hell against citizens and infrastructure all across the continental US. China then breaks out into the Western Pacific, taking advantage of all they have prepared for in the China Sea (the Spratleys, etc.), by attacking Taiwan, helping N. Korea, attacking Okinawa and ultimately Japan.

I believe we'd best watch our back...and that in order to prevent such a fictional scenario from becoming reality, that we have to open our eyes to what China and others really represent (abject tyranny) and then start treating them accordingly...instead of funneling them the technology, the manufacturing and the dollars that are funding their rise to poer.

Just my opinion.
