Not only is the US possibly more hated than it ever was before, but Muslim extremists will flock to terrorize all "infidels" for as long as American forces kill their children (not that is anything new) on their holy land. Bush wrongfully invaded their holy ground killing their people and now they have a propaganda machine to recruit more suicide bombers to waste the "infidels". I believe this country is at more of a risk to be attacked under the Bush administration. If Bush gets re-elected and decides to attack Iran or maybe Syria, I wouldn't be surprised to see a suicide bombing in our local Starbucks. But yes, they will fight for as long as Israel and America are around, and most likely if they are gone as well. But Bush's foreign policy further fuels their passion and hate to destroy us.

So what do you suggest? A complete pull out of Iraq? Let the terrorists overrun the provisional government and create a terrorist state?
When Clinton pulled our troops out of Mogadishu, he gave Bin Laden's fight more cause than Osama Bin Laden could have ever hoped for. Bin Laden referred to our troops as "paper tigers," all growl and no bite. We must show strength, we must take the fight to them instead of allowing them to bring the fight to us as they did on 9/11. We must hunt them down wherever they are and cut them from the population like the cancer that they are. Like it or not, but the Bush doctrine has proven to be successful in that there have been no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11.
If we fall back, if we show weakness, then they will pounce on us and then there will be suicide bombings at the local Starbucks.
