What's the logical flaw in "if we leave iraq, they will follow us home and behead us"?

Answer 1

"They" can't.

Answer 2

If they wanted to come here and behead us why wouldn't they just do it. Why let us set the rules and continue to destroy thier own part of the world (not to mention take on the most powerful military force in the world) if they were willing and capable of coming here and really making life difficult for us?
The logical flaw is a hole so huge you could sail an aircraft carrier throught it.

Answer 3

It's just a slogan coined by republicans that support the war. How would "they follow us home"? I hadn't heard about the beheading part but it's as ridiculous as the following us home is. Sheesh.

Answer 4

We are not fighting Iraq. We just helped them establish a free democratic government. We are fighting a small group of thugs, fanatics and foreigners there. If we don't kill them they will be here in even greater numbers soon. Unfortunately, that's just the reality of it. This is a cultural clash that will go on for centuries.

Answer 5

Camels can't swim.

Haha, just kidding. The flaw, the way I see it, is that unless I am mistaken, Iraq wasn't really bothering with us to begin with. They have no interest in "following us home and beheading us". Moreover, our involvement in Iraq is allowing our attention to be distracted from those who do wish to harm us.

Answer 6

Our borders are being protected against foreign attacks. We have WMDs.
The priority mission of the Border Patrol is preventing terrorists and terrorists weapons, including weapons of mass destruction, from entering the United States.

Answer 7

What flaw?
The 2nd Amendment
Something that right-wingers will never use, because they see it as a good idea to give up rights for security, as long as one of those rights isn't the 2nd amendment rights.

Answer 8

from a Aussie point of view who have many friends on duty over their it seems nobody is trying to find out what the people over their want (why not a referendum and then follow their wishes) it seems American and Australians are the same when it comes to the war we won't find the truth incasse it is different to ours it is more simple to just repeat the politicians
rhetoric over and over and over again depending on our preference and if we keep saying it we will believe it

Answer 9

There are to many security forces in this country , so I don't see how their could be any way for them to get enough of them here to behead any one. If they are here, then it may happen.

Answer 10

The flaw is you forgot to capitalize the 'I' in "If.....Iraq.....".
Who said that?
Besides if anyone did come over here to behead us, it wouldn't be Iraqis...it'd be Al-Queda or somebody like that.

Answer 11

If you have good support for this statement, then I don't see why it would have a logical flaw. If this is a test question, I think it is a horrible question unless you are given a context.
