Fact of the matter is right now Iraq is the front line on the war on terror, and you would have to be insane to think otherwise. Regardless of the premises that got us in there, we are there, if we duck out now (Like the cowards Sharpton and Dean want to do) we would fuck things up x10 then they are going to be at the current rate.
BTW Hitler and Saddam aren't a bad comparison. Both violated international multiple times (Hitler had something like 32 violations, Saddam had a "low" 17) with out action being taken against them. Hitler was #2 are far as brutal murders go, Saddam is behind in a 4-5 spot. Again the Oil arguement is weak and moot, we get 15-20% of our oil from the Saudi's otherwise its from Russia, Canada, or S. America. Talk to Germany or France and see who had more to gain with Saddam in power. Saddam did have links to terrorism, whether or not it was Al Queda, everyone knew he did so you'd have to be an idiot to argue otherwise.
And HR how are we weaker and the Terrorists stronger through all this? You think that us killing them anywhere but here in America would be a good thing. Perhaps the fact that there have been several high level arrests and 0 terrorist attacks on American soil mean anything? Bush must be doing something right. Not to mention us being in Iraq rattles the Mideast which is a thorn in the side of the world. Furthermore who gives a fuck if more people hate us for this. As it goes they are either Arab and/or Muslims that are a problem in their own, or bitchy ass Europeans that already felt that way towards us. I don't see how we are any worse off then before all this bullshit went down. All this did was reveal their true feelings.
