Maybe it's because of their short term memories.... Also, there is rising support from many of the Dems here for the Middle East countries even when it is detrimental to the security of the US.

That's better. First, JEB, my country and her security come first above and beyond any other consideration. I'm of the opinion that attacking Iraq is a mistake because counterattacks from sympathizers will devastate our country. Second, who is going to replace Saddam? Chances are someone as bad if not worse. Where is Bush going with this? He hasn't said, so we don't know. When his father attacked Iraq there was sympathy for that invasion. (Even though the Kuwaiti girl who testified Iraqis were killing babies in hospitals later admitted she lied) We were better prepared militarily as well as we were sounder fiscally. Leaving Afghanistan vulnerable by pulling troops to fight an Iraq war will send that country back into turmoil. We need some focus here. Keeping terrorists out of our country is a good focus. I have places to go and things to do, but I will be happy to talk more later. Karen.
