By your definition we should be using the military to go after Pet and Eco Activist's in this country. By your definition we should be in;

Cuba
Iran
Iraq
North Korea
Sudan
Syria

Not to mention we should also be in Israel for the Palistinions and in Lebanon for Hezbolla(?). Maybe we should lump Turkey in there to if you want because they are fighting the Kurds.
In WWII we fought on multiple fronts because we had to. We didn't start it. Hitler opened up two fronts against the advice of his generals and look what happened. We did however start Iraq. You weaken yourself as is proven today in Afganistan and Iraq. If we had the forces and money in Afganistan that we have used in Iraq their would be no Taliban, and probably no Al Qaeda and democracy would safely grow and that region could be an anchor. Instead we are piece mealing ourselves out and accomplishing nothing but holding on.
I suggest you reread the resolution and gleam fact from what turned out to be fiction and I'll say it again, what was going on in Iraq was bad or evil, whatever word you want to use but did not warrant invasion. We can't go around the world invading for every wrong.
I thought Al Qaeda had Sadamm as a target. Funny they would be chummy don't you think.
But yes, this thread is getting tiresome. You'll crow the republican line right or wrong.
I read in todays paper that republicans are starting to change and call for an exit strategy. Gee, nothing like an election to change politicians reasoning. It's disgusting.
