....wern't in Iraq? How does invading enemy territory make an enemy stronger? How come every day we are in Iraq Insurgents and terrorist are being pounded and paying for what they have done while innocent American blood hasn't been spilt on American soil by these extremeist? How is Overthrowing a dictator and installing a democracy bad? How is keeping a commitment to the Iraqi people a bad thing? We are keeping a commitment to the Isralis, Saudi's, the Iraqi people, and most of all to Americans to build a safer middle-east to benefit the world.

In answering, I'm ignoring your "heartless liberal" comment. A better question you should ask is, "What have we done to make so many hate us, including our allies?" If we were going to chase down and have killed their monster Dictator, it would have been less fatal to hundreds of thousands if we had stopped there. But no, because that was not our primary goal. We actually lost sight of what we were told...that our goal was to find and kill the ones responsible for 9/11. He's still hiding in a cave and many many innocent people have died, and Iraq is piles of rubble. Now, the terrorists ARE in Iraq, coming in from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Greece, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. They are in Iraq because WE are in Iraq! They didn't come to the US...they came to Iraq....and they keep coming! Along with those bad guys, the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites are fighting each other and even within that are the different tribes killing each other. Meanwhile, the politicos are on vacation! Cheesh!

Easily explained. Bin Laden's team came from Saudi Arabia for the most part. They had nothing to do with Iraq. Iraq for that mattter had nothing to do with September 11 2001.
Bin Laden did NOT want American forces in the Arab Emirates or the Middle East. But this attack was the result of wahabbi fundamentalist culture rooted in the Emirates and other parts of the Middle East. By the way, the Iraqis, ( except for the Kurds ) were better off under Saddam. You don't INSTALL a democracy anythere, not if you want it to last beyond the day the last Americans leave Iraq. Iraq is going to have to sort out whatt sort of government they will have themselves. As for the rest of your rosey scenereo, the less said the better.

To kill as many human beings and others as they could and to attempt and humiliate the U. S., issues like that. Terrorists had already made one attempt on the international commerce midsection with a truck bomb in the underground parking storage in 1993. So this is no longer superb it grew to become right into a objective. Terror is the muse be attentive to terrorism, that's what they had to reason, alongside with deaths and that they did. word: exciting element, Soundgar.

Why did the terrorists attack us if we weren't in Iraq? Because Al Qaeda has hated us since our 1980s and early 1990s involvement in the middle east -- and have declared us an enemy to be destroyed since 1989.
Overthrowing a dictator isn't necessarily bad -- nor is it necessarily our job.
And invading one country -- when the real enemy (Al Qaeda) is in an entirely different country -- allows the enemy to get stronger because our attention is not on attacking the enemy where they are -- it's on nation building somewhere else.
And we haven't been attacked because -- on average -- we've been attacked every 7~8 years by foreign terrorists since the 1960s.... so Bush doesn't get any credit for not having SOONER than the historical average.

First you must understand that the British and the Americans screwed up the Middle East with their thieving of oil and refusal to pay royalties on the oil they took.
Also, the CIA with its covert actions ruined a fledgling democracy because their ELECTED moved to nationalize their own oil.

when the "enemy" is an IDEA, that is when it can win when we are on "enemy soil". The muslims who are not terrorists are only going to get more angry at us when we are killing members of their family, their neighbors, or whoever, and we are occupying their country. Terrorism was already a possibility for them to choose, but now, it is a likely one.

what are you talking about? it's like you get all your information from the TV. your question isn't even worth answering if you're assuming Iraq had anything to do with 9-11. and if you think the US is interested in democracy in the Middle East to help the Iraqi people. I don't buy any of it it's all bullshit.
perpetual war, money, and oil. that's it man. kill your tv.

You are a coward.
You want some anonymous, faceless soldier to die in your stead in a desert. Just so you can feel all snuggly and warm at night.
Pathetic. Spineless. Coward.
