One of Bush's first lines concerning fighting in Iraq is that if we fight them over there, we won't have to fight them over here. And over here, we were not fighting. They targeted civilians. They had no intention of engaging in a just and honorable war. They just want to kill us. And, that is not all we have been doing. You talk as though the only reason they are not attacking us is because they are getting their fill of us on their home turf, and have no reason to fill up on our own soil. The reality is that Bush and the networks of intelligence that he used stopped further terrorist attacks from taking place.There has been zero attack since 9-11-01.Had the 'cowboy' done a real approach and gotten Bin Laden, another attack would be far less likely.
Well isn't this because we gave them a target closer to home to shoot at ?
The price unfortunately would seem for all too many (and one would be too many) a cathartic shock.
Get Bin Laden? Everyone would like to get their hands on Osama bin Laden but that would require either A) we get damn lucky with a predator the next time he sticks his head out of his cave, or B) we launch a full scale invasion of Northern Pakistan which has nuclear weapons.
We are not your enemies... Yeah Bush only said that about a million times.
I don't know who fed the liberals the line, "If only Bush had gotten BinLaden we would have conquered terrorism" Maybe it was Bill Clinton. Yathink?

Silly ass. Nobody ever said that. What has been said is that particular threat would have been removed. After 9-11, even Iran offered us help in getting Bin Laden. Had we done that, aided Afghanistan by rebuilding basic Afghan infrastructure, then got the hell out, the rest of the world would have stood and cheered. We do not need to be in the mid-east, serving as target practice for all sides of ages old tribal and religious conflicts.
Bin Laden is far smarter than the average terrorist, and removing him would remove a major threat. Bush failed to do this. In fact, his administration did not even recognize the danger, referring to "Clinton's fixation concerning Bin Laden", prior to 9-11. We paid a high price for that lack of recognition. We may pay an even higher price for the failure to take him out, and, by invading Iraq, giving him the perfect recuiting tool.
Another point. Obama can favorably influence many people in these areas by talking to them, rather than just rattling sabres. But for those like Bin Laden, the sabre is the only answer. I think Obama well realizes that, and will not repeat the mistakes of the prior administration.
This is why socialists are fucking morons. You don't give help based upon any sense of justice, just a "need" for it, and you don't end help based upon any sense of justice, just a determination that they don't need it.How about this, stay out of war there completely? Stop supporting Israel, stop funding revolutions and replacing dictators with other dictators(Sadaam for example), and only get involved when we absolutely have to. But it all starts with stopping funding Israel's military, they got one now thats good so we have no more need to fund it
What you mean is, "It's damn hard to build infrastructure when at the same time you are firing ketushas into Israel, destroying an entire town and forcing its inhabitants underground and provoking them to attack you."By the way it is damn hard to build infrastructure when the other side blows it up almost as fast as you can build it.

I have thought about it. The answers are no.Has anyone stopped to ask why are these people fighting against us?
Do they have a legitimate complaint that needs to be heard?
Are they fighting and bombing as a last resort because we won't listen to their grievances?

Oh my, this kind of stuff kills me. They act as if Obama is the first one to say this and/or try this. It didn't work for the others and it is not going to work now. There first has to be a willingness to heal the problems in that 'region' before it will happen. It has to come from within the region first.
I wish Obama the most success with his efforts and I hope that for some reason fractions do choose to listen to him, but history tells us to not get too excited.
