This, I don't buy. You don't see Americans having an issue with Iraqis? Try telling that to the Iraqis, to the American soldiers.

If there is no issue with the Iraqi people, who are you fighting? Who is dying? Who is being displaced in the millions? Who is suffering from a tenfold increase in birth defects in less than twenty years? Need I go on?

No issue? No. More like many issues.


If you are speaking of the war in Iraq, you must be referring to the Iraq insurgency. Aren't a majority of the insurgents Iraqi? And as far as foreign fighters go, a lot of them come from places such as Egypt, Syria, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia. Is the United States going to bring the "War on Terror" there too?

Sure "Mission: Remove Saddam" was accomplished, but what, exactly, is the current mission?
