re: Since you weren't for "turning the other cheek" in Afghanistan ( Message 21180179 ), what makes you think the terrorists would have left Spain and the UK alone had we confined our "nation-building" to Afghanistan? What makes you think they wouldn't have? BTW, Afghanistan was "nation destroying", as was Iraq. That part went OK, the "nation building" part has really not gone well. As a true conservative understands, nation building is not our prerogative, it's not within our capability, and it's not moral. Self-determination is the ultimate bedrock of conservative belief. Period. John

Yeah, maybe London can follow Madrid's lead and pull out of Iraq. You might have noticed that I have not advocated for even the US to pull out of iraq in my late posts. Since you weren't for "turning the other cheek" in Afghanistan ( Message 21180179 ), what makes you think the terrorists would have left Spain and the UK alone had we confined our "nation-building" to Afghanistan? It would not matter. The fight was justified in Afghanistan...Iraq is a most unfortunate and costly sidetrack. A huge presidential blunder. Costly to me = shattered and lost lives, national and world division, loss of international influence, recruitment gift to terror, and more. Al
