Is the world safer because of the war? I don't feel safer.

Was the world safer prior to 9/11?

Some people thought so.. at least until that day slapped them with some harsh realities..

And when is the last time the US fought a war on its own home soil? We just don't do that if we can avoid it.. We fight it overseas, on the enemies home turf..

And that's what's happening.. Anyone who had an inclination to be a militant is more interested in heading to Afghanistan and Iraq than they are to the US.

There's far more glory, in their minds, to confronting the "infidel" man to man in battle, than in suicide bombings..

And we're giving them the opportunity to do so.. And proving to the rest of the muslim world that the militants have no qualms about killing other muslims to achieve their agenda.
