Viking, I just dont feel its good idea to take in crowds of suspected terrorists.
With these warfronts like iraq, it creates this problem..
If we pulled back and looked at the big picture, most of them are not terrorists.
The real terrorist group is bin laden, his teacher, and the other top leaders. Thats it...all the warfront commanders, we created them, they are not suicide bombers. Most likely most of the people we are fighting in iraq, are iraqi factions. Same with Afghanistan.
In Iraq I expect we are seeing a marriage
of convenience between Sunni terrorists,
and that is what they are, and Baathist
terrorists, and that is what they are.
The first election turnout leaves no doubt
those favoring Democracy are at least double
the size of the religious and secular terrorists combined.

So step back, and grab the real bad guys, they cant touch us after that! Nobody can, where are they going to attack us? here? no, we'll have so much extra money we would have awesome intel and border control.
The terrorists will be plotting terror no matter
what we do short of capitulation, and would be
if we had never gone to war in Iraq.

I think this administration is liking the war situation..they like what it does for their politics. It IS in your ideology, the ends justify means.
You may not realize this now, but i can already tell it is effecting you.
It is not logical to go around smashing dictators...its too much trauma for the populous for one thing.
The central thesis of the administration is that
advancing Democracy by force as well as rhetoric
will eventuall redound to our benefit, and to the
benefit of the entire world.
The remains issue is now in the balance.
