a billion half-crazed terrorists? I don't show my support that way, but do you?

Any more, I don't care about Iraq, or her people. What I do care about is our troops, who are from the U.S. They need to come home, where they are safe, and where they belong.
The Iraqi's are now free of their dictator, and they must now rebuild their country on their own, JUST like the U.S. had to do after the Revolutionary War. Rebuilding their own country will give them more respect for it, since they'll have interest in it, because it''s their sweat & blood & money. What do we achieve holding their hand, and paying for everything?

No, I show support for the troops by not making statements that can be misconstrued. I do not want our men and women to be shot at. They do not want to be shot at. However, it is in the job description.
Show your support with positives, not negatives. Show your support by helping out a family near you with a loved one over there - help with yard work, homework, or just a smile and a hello. Help a local school send care packages to the troops. Do something constructive, not destructive.
No American, from the President on down, wants the troops in harm's way. A job has been started, and must be completed. The military understands this. The military families understand this.
I suppose, since WWII was over 61 years ago, we should pull everyone out of Germany? Italy? Japan? Our military has its objectives, many of which are classified for a reason. No matter what the media reports, generals say, or even the president says, we don't have the whole picture.
But no matter what, right or wrong, war or peace, I will support the brave men and women of our military and their families. In ways that mean so much more than angry diatribes. We should have learned that lesson with Vietnam.

We support our troops by supporting their mission. If they pull out now, all their deaths and injuries will be for nothing. If they are allowed to finish the job, they will have made a tremendous change in that land, for the better.
The enemy wants to convince us to pull out so they can win. If they win, Iraq turns into a hell-hole like Afghanistan was during the 1990s. The more our Democrats complain we should pull out, the harder the enemy fights to give them an excuse to say it. If our nation showed a united will to defeat the insurgents, they would lose hope of winning.
We don't know how much longer our troops need to be over there. It could be just another year or two if the Iraqi military and police can get on the ball. Already, Iraqi forces are taking up a lot of the combat duties against insurgents.

We have no business to be in Iraq. Over two thousand dead and the tens of thousands maimed and messed up for life, for what?
Too, we are over one hundred billion dollars in debt. Where will our country get that money? Consider, less than one billion minutes ago Christ walked the earth.
America has the weapons to take out any one that is a threat. So why mess with our youth, our economy, the children without fathers, and the broken ones that return, where shale they work?
How shall the buy the home of their dreams, and the one that is not married but his/her body is messed up, with whom shall the dance?
Non of our so called leaders are rushing any of their family members off to Iraq! The ones at home, in their living room chair scream, we have to stay, support the troops, but they are not about to go to Iraq, offer to build one home for the retaining, or pay off any ones debt.

How do you show your support?
What is your answer to dealing with a "billion half-crazed terrorists"????
Maybe we should just cut and run - a victory for the Islamic radicals won't encourage and embolden them much, eh?
Get a grip on reality - the Islamic terrorists have clearly and repeatedly stated their objective: You convert to Islam or you die.
Maybe, just maybe, they didn't consider a third option - we stand up and fight back!
Is that so damned hard to understand?

Our troops and their troops are all innocent, too bad our government had to start this needless war. Sure, we got Saddam out, and their people are obviously grateful, but now they're growing tired of us and want us to leave. TAKE A HINT.
And just imagine what the families in Iraq are going through.

I don't understand the question...
Would you rather us leave and have those billion half-crazed terrorist take over?
The job is not yet done, but it will not take 20 years.

Your question assumes a lot don't it?
I actually have more faith in the men and women fighting in Iraq to know that the battles will stop soon. The faster our media stops fighting the USA and it's president, the faster we will win. They are giving aide and comfort to the enemy. Like they did in Vietnam.
If they are there for 20 years, then it is because the Liberals did not allow us to win the war and forced our president to finish this battle with his hands tied. Next thing we will hear about is that our soldiers can not carry their weapons with them because it might intimidate the people of Iraq. This is about how you seem to think.

Support the military in fighting terrorists but make sure the leaders have right decisions.
