John, why doesn't your theory apply to Afghanistan? That shows your theory is wrong doesn't it?

The reason there are "terrorists" in Iraq, mostly home grown but probably a few imported, is that our troops are there. Cause --- Effect. Agreed. Also, the reason why we haven't had a terrorist attack on U.S. soil for the last 3 years is because we have improved homeland security focus dramatically and because most of the people who want to attack us have found it easier to attack our troops in Iraq rather than coming to the U.S. to do it. Cause and effect. I'd rather have the terrorists attacking our troops, who are trained to respond, rather than have them here on U.S. soil attacking civilians who can't defend themselves. I agree, with hindsight, it now appears that the Iraq invasion was a mistake. However, we won't know for sure until 10 years from now. In the mean time, we have no choice but to stay there and finish the job. Like I said before, I'm glad neither Kerry nor Bush agrees with your approach. So you are just pissing against the wind, my friend.
