>>In the strategy to fight them "there," "there" means "elsewhere" or "abroad," someplace other than our homeland. Iraq turned out to be one of the locations where the fighting has occurred but it could have been anywhere that wasn't "here." The idea was to stop attacks on our soil so Americans could feel comfortable going to malls and football games once again, which they do. And so that Bush could avoid further scary attacks on his watch, which he seemed to want more than anything else. By keeping terrorists occupied elsewhere, they're not here.<< Karen - Again, if we want to fight "them" there, we have to go where "they" are. Since terrorists don't gather themselves in large groups and wait for armies to show up to fight them, that's a strategy that is not useful in fighting terrorism. And since the "they" who attacked us weren't in Iraq at all, ever, it is just not sensible, to me, to justify our adventure there on that basis. - Allen
