While the OP is extremely political, I assume it is ok for this discussion. He has critiqued Bush and Kennedy, so allow me to remind everyone...no matter the mistake in going to Iraq, our current administration was told years ago that what IS happening WOULD happen if he insisted on pulling out as he did. That includes all his military advisors. People say he could not get an agreement for allowing troops to stay for stabilization, as we have done so many times with great success. That is not true.
I am not debating our beginnings in Iraq, but we have to understand how "small" the world is (we certainly tout that fact when it fits), ignoring everyone and simply giving great speeches will not do this country any good long term.
I hate war....it is horrible, but if our attitude is to allow anything as long as they are not in our country, then...they will shortly in our country.
Folks say it is religious.....I think not. These groups bound and determined use religion as their shield.
