>>The terrorists don't want to fight us

Sorry, poor choice of words.<<

Karen -

Well, considering that what we were discussing was the "we must fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here," you really didn't have much choice, did you? ;-)

But I think that's really the crux of the issue. They don't fight. They hide out and engage in one-sided strikes occasionally.

According to General Petraeus, who turned over his command in Iraq to his successor today, we are fighting Sunni insurgents and die-hards who just don't want any foreign army in Iraq.
