<<...Do you believe that if America pulls out of Kuwait or the ME entirely, that America or Americans won't experience anymore terrorist attacks?...>>

I didn't say that....yet, I feel that if we continue on our current path towards war we will increase the level of terrorist attacks on American interests (The CIA has forecasted this as well). Do you know how we are viewed in many parts of the Middle East? Many see us as a bully, an imperial power, etc...Finding a peaceful resolution to the Iraqi situation is our best option...I totally agree with William Rivers Pitt when he says that 'a war on Iraq, a nation that is 97% Muslim, will bring those previous enemies of Hussein to his side, initiating a wave of terrorist attacks upon America that will put 9/11 in deep shade by comparison.'

Lets hope our president has the courage and wisdom to be patient and make a wise decision that is in the best interest of all the stakeholders involved.
