<< The question might be will some of our aggressive policies and actions destabilize The Middle East & motivate Al Qaeda and others to attack American interests even more...? >> Or, the question might be, if we eliminate some of the more radical elements in the ME, would it stabilize the area? Or, if we DON'T eliminate the growing and more dangerous supporters of terrorism, will it destabilize more of the civilized world? As far as the terrorists "increasing" their attacks against America? I'm convinced that "If they could right now, they would", and I'm also convinced that there are many plans to attack America right now. It is just a matter of time before they are able to succeed. Will it be New York again? California? Florida? Who's next? << Why spend well over $100 Billion on a dangerous war when you don't need to...? >> Let's find a way to do it with less cost. << Would you send your son or daughter over to fight in Iraq...? >> If it would prevent another Sept 11th? Would you?

<<<The question might be will some of our aggressive policies and actions destabilize The Middle East & motivate Al Qaeda and others to attack American interests even more...?>>>> I guess the Aussies who lost a few hundred can look after themselves in some way. << Would you send your son or daughter to fight in Iraq...? >>> I dont know if you have children or have been in the service, but I have two Grandkids who would have to be stopped from volunteering if they were qualifed . My dad a WW1 vet, wanted to volunteer for WW2 service The last thing any serviceman wants is to be called chicken. They have trained for years to do the type of job called for at this time. They are eager to use their training . If did they not have transportation they might lease a boat to get over there where the action is. Commanders have to restrain these people - the Air force or Navy would level every building in sight if we did not try to limit casualties. Sig Now where did I hang those medals and ribbons ? Asia-Pacific Theater , Sharpshooter, Markesman, Good conduct, a few others? Johnny Carson, G Bush Sr, JF Kennedy , they were all in the same area you know. And because of their actions and actions of others we do not have German or Japanese as a basic language today.
