Let's say just 1% are extremists (a VERY LOW estimate). That's 1,200,000 extremists. In Saudi Arabia and all over the middle east, the mullahs urge the youth to go to Iraq and fight "the great Satan". They're 100 more Muslims born every day than we kill. Every time we kill one, his children, brothers and cousins become ardent anti-Americans. If they're not insurgents, they hide and support and supply the insurgents. If you think they want us there, you're a fool - the same sort of fool who thought we could easily defeat a little country like Vietnam.

You say "it's just two divisions"! This isn't a straight-up war. This is a nasty, sneaky guerilla conflict like Vietnam, where the enemy looks JUST LIKE the people we're supposed to be protecting. We don't speak the language, know the customs and are clueless.
