Doesn't stop them from concentrating on U.S. soil?

Folks, this question is for those who believe that the war in Iraq is causing more problems. I want them to tell me why killing radical muslims in Iraq is bad for Americans on their own soil.

This is the easiest thing I have had the pleasure of answering.
During the Presidency of Bill Clinton the U.S. had American soil attacked 5 times (4 if you only count the U.S.S. Cole as a possession) by Al Qaeda. This was spread throughout 8 years.
During the Presidency of George W. Bush the U.S. has had its soil attacked only 1 time by the same Al Qaeda, and this was accomplished within 10 months of becoming President.
I believe it can be seen that since we haven't had an attack on U.S. soil in 5 and a half years by Al Qaeda that the current approach of Bush is much better then the last approach which led the U.S. to an average of one attack every year and a half.
Oh and one last thing, being Muslim is not the reason they are being killed in Iraq. Being an insurgent or a member of Al Qaeda is the reason.

You need to be a bit more concise and accurate. The "Muslims" that are being killed in Iraq during combat operations isn't a proper or complete description of those being killed.
Perhaps something along the lines of "...that killing radical Islamic insurgents that are Muslim that are killing US and Coalition troops and innocent Iraqi civilians in Iraq doesn't....?
My answer is that not all Muslims are radical Islam terrorists That there were Muslims in the US before this war began and why would killing Muslims in combat in Iraq stop honest law abiding Muslims from coming to America. I take exception with you term "concentrating" but it's a matter of semantics suppose.
Are all the the Muslims "concentrating" here honest, law abiding, believe in the USA Muslims? Certainly not. The difficulty here as it was while I was in Iraq...and continues on a minute by minute basis for our troops in Iraq...is to figure out which are the honest, freedom loving Muslims and which are the radical, anti-USA Islamic terrorists. That is truly the challenge facing us as a free society.
OK...lecture over.

Most of the killings are carried out by insurgents (not US army) through car bombs-IEDs-assassinations..etc, & although I think that not much is being done to stop those insurgents from killing other muslims, mostly because the "higher powers" are not doing a good job, but that doesn't mean that the Americans are killing muslims per se.
Besides everybody wants a better life & the US soil is the land of opportunities right? Try to live in Iraq for a week & even a dumpster in the US is better that living there!! :(

They are concentrating on the U.S. With every American killed in Iraq they are sending us a message.
I totally believe that we will be getting that message on American soil before long. They are devious, they know that we are on guard now but the more time that passes, the less we think about what could happen at any time. We have started to believe that it won't happen again, it will & if possible, even more horrible than before! We must never let our guard down, these people hate us & will go to any length to make us suffer!

Killing Muslims in Iraq is not an issue. Killing Al Qaeda, Iranian insurgents and Syrian insurgents in Iraq is the issue.

Depends on who the YOU is in your question. If your talking about any of the coalition forces, you need to get accurate information. If your talking about radical insurgents and other freaky religious leaders like Al Sadr, they are just killing their own people needlessly, which is murder. But it keeps them busy in Iraq using their supplies, time and murderes there.

Bush screwed up and thought he had invaded Iran, it has takes him 3 years to realise that a crumb obscured the last letter of the name on the map, he didnt mean to invade Iraq, it was Iran he was after all the time

The Radical Islamic Hoard wants to kill all Infidels. That would be every one that I know and love. If I have to choose I would rather they die then us.

pretty much what the first guy said, the military is not interested in the lackey's, they want the leaders so no one else will have to die for the leaders "valiant" cause
