Can you come up with a better plan? If you want to put your head in the sand and believe they will just go away after that Twin Towers stunt you are kidding yourself. Now the war is getting worse. They control parts of the country and central Baghdad is still un unsafe place. We know that most of the terrorists are not from Iraq. But they are all coming there to fight. They are getting drawn in. Once again a brilliant plan. I just hope that the worse it gets the more bombing we do. I hope that we don?t use troops in house to house combat, which is always a losing battle. I say stick with Bush and let him finish the job. Grin and bear it. We are at war. Don?t expect the economy to be all rosy all the time. What do you think?

"Terrorists" are not a limited resource. Thanks to Bush, there are millions more potential terrorists than there used to be.
There was never any terrorism being exported from Iraq into the USA, and Osama Bin Laden gave public interviews calling Saddam an "infidel" and "bad muslim". Osama wanted Saddams secular regime to be overthrown so that Islamic Clerics could sieze power in Iraq. (happening now) Thanks to Bush, Osama's wishes have been granted.
"Democracy" in Iraq means that they will vote their religious leaders into power, who will then abolish any law but Islams. The advancements Saddam made in womens rights and education will probably be reversed, and their schools will only teach Islam and hatred of the west.
We have created an enemy, another Islamic Theocracy (which will unite with others in the region against us), where previously there was only a harmless disgruntled ex-ally. We got rid of a secular dicator who embraced western culture and crushed fundamentalists, in favor of anti-western clerics. How much fucking sense does that make when the 'war' is actually against radical islam? Whether or not you think Saddam was too brutal, the old saying "the enemy of your enemy is your friend" still applies.
There didn't use to be terrorist training facilities in Iraq, but now there will be, funded by their new government. There didn't used to be tens-of-thousands of Iraqi Al Queda recruits, but now there are because we (the USA) dropped bombs on their houses and gunned down their fathers and brothers in their own streets. We have poisoned their country with depleted uranium that will last forever. Noone living there will forget this. Terrorists are not born, they are created, and we are transforming moderates into extremists all over the world, faster than we could ever just "kill them all".
