The way I look at the war is that we are taking it to them. We really aren't at war with Iraqis. We are at war with muslim extremists from all over the middle east, especially Syria and Iran. We won't win because people in this country don't have a winning attitude. When people parade the american death count as if it is a horrible tragedy, that is a bad sign. Americans are surely dying in Iraq every year, almost as many as the americans murdered in Detroit every year... or Washington DC. What we can do is thin the ranks of the extremists, theirs and ours, and keep them so busy there that the rest of the world is fairly safe for awhile. We are really the only country in the world in a reasonable position to do this right now. I am not defending Bush or the Iraq war. It was a sham and Bush will rightfully be punished by history for starting it under such false pretenses. Have they EVER found even ONE WMD, or any solid link between Saddam and Al Qaeda (sp?)? So Saddam murdered some of his own citizens. That part of the world is a very violent place and most leaders have had to do the same to some degree. Afghanistan was the war to concentrate on. That was the right war for the right reason. The americans who fought and are fighting there are the ones I am most proud of.
