I think you have a reasonable way of thinking and make it apparent in what you write. I do not think anyone wants war. At least not reasonable people. The fact is we did invade Iraq and we are at war with the terrorists. I have no doubt that these terrorists will come after us again. If we just leave Iraq and the people then not only do we give in, but we let the Iraq people down because we said we would stay and help them. I rather this whole situation be over and done with, but it is not. So, we can only do the best we can to reach that goal.
I really wonder what France, Germany or any other country in Europe what have done if they were attacked the way we were. It is always easier to sit back, judge and criticize when you are not the target.
Of course nobody wants war, for sure not those fighting the war.
I too believe that the terrorists will come again, especially if they see us as a
paper tiger like OBL said we were when we did nothing to fight the terrorist attacks in the 90's. We leave Iraq, Afghanistan, before the job is done, no matter how long it takes, we will be seen as OBL did see us & I'd have to agree. I want our guys & gals to come home, I want my grandson home, but not until it's finished, he & most other members of the military feel the same way.
I wonder what would've happened during WWII had the media been then like it is today, we'd never have gotten off the beaches at Normandy. We did have war protesters then, but we had many more patriotic citizens then too. Not so many Ramsey Clarks & cCndy Sheehans.
