What is really behind the concern about the war in Iraq is whether it was BETTER or WORSE for U.S. National Security, in light of the war becoming protracted and the tactics resulting in a growing insurgency and new terrorists being recruited and trained as a result.
Doesn't seem like they had a hard time recruiting before the Iraq war! Lets see a couple embassies were hit, world trade center twice. Hit one of our ships, an apartment building in Saudi were Americans lived.
These people (terrorist) whole life is terror. They do not have a problem recruiting members, crap they raise their own children up to be suicide bombers. Their Religious leaders teach it to the young children.
All Iraq did was bring them to one place. Instead of getting on one of our planes and flying into American buildings.
Believe me if we pull everyone out of Iraq, they will start planning how to hit Americans again at home. They will not give up until the Jews are all dead or we quit protecting them. Genocide of the Jews might be the only way to get them to leave us alone.
If we run from them they will come looking for us. They been looking for us for a bunch of years now. They will just keep coming. That is why I say stay in Iraq and localize the fight.
A person has to realize that their religion teaches that they should either convert us to Muslims, make us slaves or Kill us!
They are not hypocrites this is what they believe and they practice what they believe. It is hard for some Americans to believe because most professed Christians do not have the same convictions in their religion as these people do.
