I think it's easier to detach yourself from it because it's an ocean away, so you don't actually see people dying everyday.
IF we were actually to see our brothers, sisters etc...die in front of us, how different would our perspective be?

I am much more for it on someone elses soil, and that is why we are fighting it there, so we don't have to here.

Honey, I hate to have to tell you that seeing war in front of your eyes only makes you madder. Think about the reaction we had after 9/11.
The mind goes into a kind of mental detachment when involved in War, and it actually makes killing (of the enemy) easier.
On another note, an actual ground war here in the USA would be an entirely different combat situation than Iraq.I had a great teacher years ago who said that you cannot have a revolution (open warfare) in an industrialized State. He's right. And our enemies know it, that's why they are reduced to Terrorism.

I think everyone would be signing up to fight. Well I'd like to think that anyway but I'm sure there are some anti-war folks out there who think that if we were to talk and reason with the aggressors that they'd leave.
War sucks but sometimes it has to be done and if it ever happens on U.S. soil I'm sure people's anit-war views would severely change...

I wish it was right here in America. Think of the ease of fighting. Say you see a suspected terrorist on your way to work you could go into GTA mode and crash into them and then shoot them a bunch of times.
Another advantage would be more firearms in the hands of the citizens.
Having the War fought overseas is like getting ripped off

Why is it that there have been more violent deaths in Oakland than some of the years of our current "war" and yet it is not considered a war zone? It has gotten to the place where police protection is required at burial sites.
What is our perspective now?

It all depends on the war. If some foreign army attacked us, of course I would be supportive of the war-- that would mean we are defending our country and freedom.
We are not defending anything but interest in oil reserves in Iraq..... Iraq war was a mistake--
We are not fighting them there to keep from fighting them here. Terrorists can come here in any number of ways -- if they're not here already. Iraq is only creating more terrorist and they are honing their tactics there.
gee fr_chuck-- it amazes me that a "man of the cloth" would support war like you do--

Hell yes I'd support it. That's a given. But if Bush truely cared about protecting America, he would have been more aggressive on the border issue. Think about it. It's all GOP smoke and mirrors in my opinion.

HERE is why the so-called war is not on U.S. soil!...

The liberal media, ally of the Islamic Fascists, would still be against the war!

I would be even more for it, since if it was on our soil, we would have been invaded.

That is part of the reason people are for it. So they don't have to see their children die in the future. Notice, I wrote "part of the reason", that is not all of the reasons
