How many of Al Qeada have died in Iraq? Where would we have been fighting them if we weren't in Iraq? New York city? Washington? LA?
To say WWII is the only war that "kept our national language safe and secure" reverts back to the mentality that let Hitler rise in power to begin with. We fought in Korea, Vietnam, Granada, Panama, Libyia, etc. for our National interest. Short term we might have been better off not engaging, but long term?
You're paying more for gas now, so? To me that just say we didn't go into Iraq for oil, as many of the liberal media would try to make you believe. Oil is a world wide commodity. Travel outside the USA a bit and see how much folks are paying, then be thankful for $2.50 a gallon.
Critics say we are strengthening the resolve of terrorists. What does that mean? Are they going to really, really, really try to kill us now? At the point where they are willing to park a plane in a building I'm thinking their resolve is maxed out....
Now, as to invading Iraq; Iraq broke the peace agreement they signed after Desert Storm. To me that makes them fair game. I don't need to see the deserted terrorist camps, or the receipts to palestinian homide bombers' families, or the pictures of thousands dead at the hand of chemical weapons.
Our military is doing what they do best: Fighting the enemy. If our media would quit looking over their shoulders, and our weak minded, flip flopping politicians would grow backbones and step up and let them do their jobs this war would end a lot sooner.
