They're being killed now, albeit at a slower pace than if we weren't there at all. Please tell me how long would we have to remain there to kill an inexhaustible supply of terrorists that regenerate like the ghosts from the Gauntlet video game.
It's obvious that Iraq can't handle democracy. I say secure our borders, deport radical Muslims in our country, and put Iran and other terrorist states/nations on notice that they'll be a smoking hole in the ground if they dare try anything funny. Bush has refused to take off the gloves and he let the MSM/Dims dictate the war strategy.
I think when Bush said, "I believe in the heart of every human being is the desire to be free", that this sentiment has been proven wrong. I think muslims want to follow their radical ideology to either our destruction or their destruction. Our nations inability to understand this one fact could be the undoing of the west. Great Britain, France, GErmany will someday in the next 20-30 years me dominated by islamofascists. It is past time to stop pussyfooting. America (Washinton leadership) does not have the resolve or desire to see things as they are, only they way they want it to be....witness John Edwards...bumper sticker comment.
So in my mind it leaves me with the conclusion we either assault them with force which they have not yet experienced..mercilessly..or we will, by slow indiffernce meet a demise of the western way of life. That seems overstated, but that is where I am.
