Ehhh... I don't think anyone is for the war anymore. Give it a couple more weeks, and you'll have Bush out there in front of Cheney's house with a picket sign. He'll have his press secretary write it up though.... Gotta get that speeling rite.

Well its pretty simple. Prior to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, there were an avearge of one terrorist attack against the US every 9 months. Since the war started there has been one for over four years.

The phiosophy is simple, bring the war back to their home soil to get it off of ours. Basic military stratagy that has been used sucsessfully for centuries.

Yeah, it works great. I've been worried about my house getting robbed. So last night I broke into my neighbor's house and put all his stuff out in his front yard. I tripped on a rug, which ticked me off, so I shot his dog. Just a small consequence in this war on burglary. But the results will be excellent. Any thieves will be so busy with him, I won't have to worry about me anymore!

Of course, the effect will wear off once all his stuff is gone, and then I'll also have this highly ticked off neighbor looking for revenge. I'll worry about the increased effect later. A good idea is to do the same thing to another neighbor when his effect wears off. Better yet, the next house I'll do will be on the West side... It'll lure the thieves over there.

Climb off your dream ride. Terrorism is worse today than it has ever been. There are more terrorists today. Their populations are exploding. Those are still American citizens getting blown up by those roadside bombs, and all those extra civilian deaths.... You think they are begrudging Saddam over those? Wake up.

In other words, terrorism on American citizens have increased from once every 9 months or so (by your calcs,) to a daily occurance, with new terrorists being created out of the blue with every Mother, Father, Brother, or Sister killed...... You think they aren't upset? They had nothing to do with anything, and a bomb falls on their house? Wake up. Someone bombs my house, and kills members of my family...just because I live here? And then I read in the news some yahoo is saying better me than him?? And he's the one that bombed me?? Somebody is going to pay if it takes my life doing it.

We opened up a huge terrorism machine by invading Iraq. There are about 3 people left that still buys in to that "bring the war to them in Iraq", the other 280 million have morals and knows Iraq wasn't involved in terrorism.

I'm shocked someone actually came forward with support for the war.
