"I do know that I don't like W" If he has good ideas, do you discount them becuase of your dislike for him? "It's going to be really tough to convince me that the war on Iraq and losing sight of Afghanistan isn't pushing us off-course already" This is a demo talking point. The war on Iraq is the FRONT in the war on terror. Do the anti-Bushies think that the entire terrorist situation was in Afghanistan, and that if we got Osama that all danger would be gone? Laughably naive if so. Iraq will emerge as a succesful democracy in the heart of terrorist country, and that will do more than just about anything else. Those who cannot see this and want to maintain the status quo in the middle east are either really stupid or want the terrorists to prosper. "Also, I've hated the name from day one -- how about "War on Al-Qaida" or "War on Islamic Militants" or something?" It is the war on terror. Do you think we are better off by just going after one terrorist organization? As Libya comes in line, Pakistan and India kiss and make up, and maybe even Iran comes around the anti Bush and anti America folks are going to look sillier and sillier. Terrorism is a tough problem and deserves a tough response. Attacking the one who is going after the terrorists seems absurd (and anti American) to me. But I do appreciate the responses, and hope you have a nice weekend.
