The face of war has changed. During WWII news took weeks to hit back home and was carefully controled by the US Government. In some cases, more US soliders died on a single day than have died in Iraq during the entire course of the war. The death of an American Solider is tragic, but war isn't pretty. We should be thankful the US was able to accomplish what has in Iraq with such a small number of losses.
There were dozens of reasons to take out Saddam and his government. On the very day he took power he executed members of the Iraqi government, and later he slaughtered his citizens by the thousands. The question shouldn't be if the US should be in Iraq, but instead the question should be why the US isn't in other countries - namely Africa - where the same crimes are being committed. Don't tell me it's because Africa doens't have oil; We were in Africa and because of a single firefight (Blackhawk Down) public suppoer for this cause no longer existed. It is time as Americans we do the right thing.
As for the ones who attacked us on 9/11, well, I have no respect for them at all. They are cowards who attcked and killed thousands of innocent people without warning. When we come after them they hide like little children.
These people believe we do not have the right to exist because some of us choose to worship a god other than theirs. Yet at the same time in the US we allow everyone to worship the god of their choice - which pisses them off to no end. And they will continue to attack us.
It's only a matter of time until they have a nuclear bomb. This will change the course of history and I'm guessing a small handful of countries will disappear off the map - and entire races might just cease to exist.
Their god will not protect them any more than our god will. And I'm willing to bet there isn't any vigins waiting for anyone on the other side.
