If we bring our soldiers home, are we bring the war home as well? Will terriorists stay there or will there be another attack here on our soil because of removing soldiers from the Middle East?

That's very possible and a good argument.

The war is here, three plots here in the U.S. have already been thwarted since 9/11. The war is on, and it's only a matter of time before we see a major attack again on our soil from the growing numbers of muslim extremists in the east. We could bring our soldiers home, or leave them, the hatred and fanatic desires to destroy us are well embedded in that region. So bring 'em back and strengthen our borders, or leave 'em to fight a war that has been around longer than our country has even appeared on maps. I say bring 'em back and we will deal with whatever comes our way.
And to be truthful, I think the entire world would be better off if we recalled the troops and nuked the middle-east into the stone age...it would only take a tiny nuke, as they aren't that far from their stone-age roots anyways.

The "follow us home" argument just doesn't make any sense, when you think about it. Will it be easier for a terrorist to sneak into the USA *after* our troops come home than it will be *before* our troops come home? Do terrorists not know where the USA is, and will have to "follow us home" to find out?
What is this magic bullet of having troops in Iraq that prevents terrorists from coming to the USA? I just don't get that reasoning.
And you can't just say it hasn't happened so it must be working. First, it's not for lack of trying - there have been at least a few failed attempts. Second, we don't know what the terrorists timetables are - remember it was 7 years between the first and second WTC attacks, and we've only been in Iraq for a little over 4 years. Third, the old adage still holds true: Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence.

Nothing we do will ever change the mentality of the "terrorists" over there. We can attack them, send soldiers through their cities, try to lure them out and do everything in our power to stop them. But the hard reality is that America has enemies and even if we brought our soldiers home, there's no telling what the other side is capable of. As we can see from the increasing violence overseas - it doesn't matter where our soldiers are.

I've always thought this argument was a slap in the face to those individuals who work hard and bust their asses every day to protect our borders and enforce our laws. The FBI, CIA, US Customs, DEA, local law enforcement, Secret Service, Coast Guard, etc. all have a hand in keeping this country safe from terrorists, and in my opinion, have done a FANTASTIC job. The fact of the matter is that it doesn't take a huge effort or a lot of people to launch a 9/11 style attack on the US, and Al-Queda can spare those types of resources now. It's the efforts of the folks at home that are keeping it from happening.

It's hard to say for sure. In one breath, the right wingers say that the terrorist will follow us home and have a war in the streets of the USA. Then in the next breath, they say that the terrorist will stay in Iraq and take over that country to be their own. I just wish that the right wingers would make up their minds as to what piece of delusional drivel that they are going to believe in. Freakin' flip-floppers

The terrorists are already here... Where have you been hiding? Terror cells/plots are broken up all the time... Unfortunately, some of our terrorists are home grown too...
Most of of the bigtime terrorists were educated in US colleges and universities... Our schools, thanks to some professors have become a breedingorund for poisonous retoric and and militant ideas... These "perveyors of misguided wisdom" need to be removed from our schools and silenced.
We need to cancel all student visas from Islamic countries and send them back home...
Why should we provide these "students of terror" with the knowledge to attack us?

The war is already here!
The terrorists have been flooding our borders for many years.
If Iraq didn't have oil our solders would not be there in the first place.
Until we can provide our own energy, our military will have to fight in the middle east.

You got it.
We are fighting a war like we have never faught before.
Unlike Vietnam, Vietnam didn't send sucide pilots to take down our buildings.
Yet we have about a 1/3 of the DNC believing Bush did 9/11.
So it doesn't surpise me that people like Ron Paul if we run away believe they won't come here.
They have come here twice already what makes any believe the won't come again.
I know anything to bash Bush.
