iraq is not a repeat of vietnam. anyone who makes or believes that it is clearly has little/no understanding of the political conditions that lead to the vietnam mess.
the reason we are in iraq and the rest of the middle east is simple. all those people who wandered the globe openly hating americans finally decided to bring the fight to us. they attacked and killed thousands of innocent people on our home soil.
this is completely unacceptable and has been met with the appropriate response.
do i believe in war as a solution to political problems? NO
do i like knowing that so many sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends are at terrible risk? NO
do i believe that americans have the right to live without having to fear what some thirdworld retard is gonna blow up next? YES
americans have always taken pride in protecting themselves from an offensive postition. even a glance at history makes that clear. so why is it such a problem when we are doing it this time?
