In fact, I wouldn't spend one American life to have those troops on those borders to try to stop the movement of Al Queda between Iran and Afghanistan?Iraq. Would you? I'd rather not expend one American life on anything. Sure would be nice to have those 3000 plus back who died on 9/11. Even more who died in WWII, WWI, and many another war. I don't like paying taxes either. Heck, wish the good fairies would clean my house for me, too, and I don't mean gay people, although if any gay person wants to clean my house for me, I'd probably say yes. Mow the lawn, wash the cars, etc. Yes, sacrifices are no fun at all. That's why they're called "sacrifices."

Would you? >> I'm not CB, but I certainly would risk some troops to learn by doing. The terrorists are coming for us ( unless every Newsman and Congressman is lying ). And dont mean just Stateside, but any possession, ship, embassy, or foreign worker. Since they do not come as armies, they will come as they seem best, and we have to learn the nasty ways they use. Those who serve in Iraq, and survive, teach the newbies and the next generation about the tricks used by the enemy. Sig
