"How many new terrorists are springing up (the CIA says "a lot") vs. how many take a dirt nap."

Re: What do you think?

>>> I think that, in general, if we become more unpopular in parts of the world, those who oppose us may become more popular. I also think that plopping down new military bases in the middle east tends to overly excite the locals... who then call us occupiers and infidels. FAR BETTER to establish American independence from middle eastern oil sources!

Re: And even if there are more that want to harm us in the short run,

>>> And what if that antipathy extends into the long run? You seem to ignore that possibility (and, incidentally, the lessons of history).

Re: they are running out of places that support them.

>>> Funny you say that. Iraq seems to be teaming with terrorists and terrorist wannabes now. Iran seems to be smiling like a Cheshire Cat. Afghanistan is 'gone' only as long as our troops are there, it seems.

Re: When you make a big deal about us being at war with terrorists creating new ones, then you imply that we should just quit

>>> Utter nonsense! If I 'imply' anything, it's just that we should fight SMARTER!
