Doesn't a major invasion and commitment of troops in Iraq leave us soft in the underbelly for an al Qaida counterstrike?

With what? Horses, sabers, RPGs? It's the AQ terrorism that we should be concerned about, not its conventional military menace. The US can (and has) made mincemeat out of AQ in any conventional military sense. No need to worry about that point, IMO.

Is the invasion of Iraq fiscally responsible for Americans?

Depends on how costly it would be to suffer the results of a few small nuclear explosions and a few instances of bioterrorism.

The more one contemplates about the invasion of Iraq, the less feasible it becomes.

You really think so? Why?
