<<<The Islamists want to defeat us, and they know that stirring up the American public would strengthen our resolve to stay in Iraq. So instead they are, by and large, leaving the American public alone (instead concentrating on weaker western targets like the Spanish public), and are concentrating on our troops in Iraq. They know that in the absence of terror attacks in the US, the American public will eventually force the American government (especially after the WMD fiasco) to eventually give up on Iraq. Now there's not a damned thing you can do to stop them from being successful in this part of the campaign, so you'd better start thinking about the next stage, and I agree with you that the terrorism gets fought here.>>>

The error in your statement is this:

Loyal Americans, and there are whole bunch of them, feel personally attacked whenever a serviceman is hurt in Iraq.It is considered a direct attack upon our way of life.

You tend to assume there is a division between our Military and ordinary civilians. Yet behind each serviceman are all his relatives who are typically proud of his efforts in serving his country.

So you are speaking for a minority who would prefer to have him or her driving 300hp cars on our freeways 5 days a week.
Which is OK by me, as it keeps the Thread interesting.

Those that consider a proper life is 30 years of dull boring job where he has less chance of growing up and discovering his true potential.

That idealism will end soon if nothing is done to stop terrorism. So this war will continue.
