Then I would like to beg to differ. . . I think that the troops are making sacrifices for our freedom. . .

After all, militant Islam has a quest for world domination, and the terrorists won't stop until the whole world is under their influence in some way or another. That's why we must defeat them, so this country can remain the geatest (and frankly, the most free) republic on the face of this planet.

Islam has three choices when they meet me:

1) convert me to Islam
2) make me submit to Islam (without converting me)
3) or, kill me

Don't you agree that the terrorists must be stopped?

I know they are making a tremendous sacrifice to ensure our freedom and safety. It bothers me to no end that when they volunteer to go into the military, they are to do as ordered. That is not to desert, or refuse to go in any way. Otherwise, why did they sign up in the first place?

I can understand their reasoning wanting not to go: fear of dying in Iraq, the people who are in harm's way there, due to terrorist actions, just to name a couple.

Now, having said that, do you think if the USA had not gone into Iraq, based on what Bush felt were WMDs that, that the war on terror could have been less harder to fight in Afghanistan.

Did Bush ever know that a can of worms would have been opened in Iraq when he let the door open for the Sunnis and Shiites to main each other in car bombings, especially?

I've heard a few years ago that one of the Islamic terrorists said that the USA should be under Islamic rule. And I hope NOT.

BTW, the photo of the dog in your avatar is beautiful. A beautiful dog.

"After all, militant Islam has a quest for world domination,"

No it doesn't, even according to OBL all they want are traditional Moorish lands under their control. They really don't give a flying flip about N. America. or Asia.

The terrorists must be stopped, yes. It is frustrating that, even though they may be hindered, yet they are so determined to see that their actions are carried out, no matter how they do it.

Al Qaeda in Iraq carried out a bomb explosion the other day that was filled with chlorine. They are no dummies. How will the USA and its allies be able to concentrate solely on fighting terrorism there?

I am saying what ever it take to win, than we should win,As Pattion once said,"let the other poor bastard die for his country", beside you know damn well what "Arabs"do to our boys..

YES THEY DO!!!!

Okay what leads you to believe that?

They are already here in this country, aren't they?

And what does that mean? What is their purpose here? To take over the government?
