Japan attacked us during WWII, would you have rolled over and took it up the what ever, or would you have responded with force? If yes, at what point would the cost have been too high for you? Or, what price are you willing to pay for freedom? Would you fight for the freedom of others, why or why not?

This misconception on your part needs to be addressed....again. Iraq did not attack us, yet we decided to focus the vast majority of our resources there....it makes no sense to me. We were already in Afghanistan, which held the Taliban/Al queida...and we decided to go somewhere else? bad decision in my opinion, as now we have lost control of both fronts in a war we totally F@cked up. Yet you feel OK defending the failures , and even go so far as to find something to be proud of.....WTF is up with that.



There is now. The Bush strategy is to fight them in Iraq. Their strategy is to fight us in Iraq. Both sides recognize the value of the Iraq target, even if you don't.
