>>Fighting them "there" so that we don't have to fight them "here" was a deliberate strategy. I think there's a lot to be said for that notion. Whether invading Iraq was the best way to implement that notion is a matter separate matter from the making of the distinction.<< Karen - I disagree about the whole concept of "fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here." There is nothing about our having a hundred and fifty thousand troops fighting overseas that could prevent another twenty men from attacking us on our soil again. The notion of a deterrent factor is an illusion. And though I know you love to discuss every point in an argument separately, for the sake of logical clarity, things in the real world are messier than that. Since I disagree with the policy, I find it especially painful to see the FTTSWDHTFTH idea applied in a place where "they" never were in the first place. - Allen
