Daddy "d", Good answer
Joseph C, I like your comeback
It amazes me that a lot of people blame either America or Bush for the problems in the world. I don't agree with a lot of the way this administration has handle the war on terror and I believe that Bush should have listened to McCain on a several levels. However, Bush has been the only President that had the balls to take a stand against "World Terrorism". What a lot of people don't understand is that if we don't fight terror in other countries, eventually, we will end up fighting it on our own soil. If and when that happens, (and I pray that it won't) I wonder how many of them will wish that they supported this Administration.
Be advised, I hate war and wish that the word wasn't even in our vocabulary, however, I would rather fight it abroad then I would in my own back yard.

Ummm.....well considering that we were just over here minding our own business when BOOM 9/11 happened vs. this is a war....and the countries involved know that its a war. NOT A COWARDLY SNEAK ATTACK....then I would have to say WHO CARES. As far as I'm concerned they have every single thing they get coming to them. Too bad. Next time don't mess with the greatest country in the world and you won't suffer the consequences.

Is this the same U.N. that considers Israel the number one offender of human rights? even if the numbers are right, you might want to send them to al-sadr so he can frame them and hang it in his office. America has nothing to be ashamed of, the worst thing they did was put panties on prisoners heads. And that was funny.

Americans did not kill all of those people. Islamic insurgents did. Very sorry that all of those people died, but it is not America's fault. Probably more would have died this year if not for American presence.

Fine, the US will pull out of Iraq and let them all kill each other - would that be better? It WOULD happen.

The USA did not kill all those people, terrorist "insurgents" did. You know, the so called "freedom fighters"! Their own people! Stop trying to blame the USA.

You are wrong . Insurgents are blowing up people ; killing ; kidnapping and torture- beheading innocent people , sometimes with a dull knife . . Why does that not offend you ?
