I fully believe that in 20 yrs time the iraqis will be far better off than they ever were. i hope you guys go after iran and pakistan when your done with iraq. those places are just breeding grounds for terrorism.
comming from a country with spinless leaders, all i want to say is god bless america for having the ***** to do what is right, no matter what the rest of the world thinks.

Second off you do know if we enter either Iran or Pakistan it will become a breeding ground for terrorism just like, heres the big shocker, Iraq is right now. Also I find it amusing that you think your leaders are spinless because they standup for something they don't believe in! Go figure standing with your beliefs makes you spinless.

In all honesty what would you expect them to say? Especially with the news of US sending special forces in to their country? On top of that look at their geographical position. Don't know about you but if my neighbors got attacked, rightfly or wrongly, I sure as hell would start bunkering my *** in. And for those that don't get it im not defending them Im just saying that if I was in their position I would try as hard as possible to d up and try to bluff my way out of a fight.

Wow we actually agree. We are making a HUGE mistake in my eyes by supporting Israel the way we are. We are creating a lot of hate towards us because of it. Hate we don't need to be creating. Not to mention that Saudi Arabia should of been the one attacked with Afghanistan not Iraq. Or atleast pressured to let us in to take out terrorist.

Here's a fact for you. In the years ETA has been working in Spain, the time when it lessend wasn't do to miltary force or police force. It was when the people no longer could take it. I still love how you fail to address my points and just side step again and again. Oh one more question show me a case where using force on terrorism has stopped terrorist actions? Maybe Im wrong but off the top of my head I can't think of one. And I didn't know I had to validate my oppinion with facts everytime I brought up a point.

Well that's part of the problem. You can state opinion or even points that you severely believe to be absolute fact, but you know as well as I do that if there are dissenters, they will need background information; hopefully factual, in order to retort.
The Colts are the best team in the NFL: no they're not. They got beat by the Patriots in the playoffs.
God is alive: no he isn't because he allowed my mama to be killed in that industrial accident down at the plant.
Spain has a terrorist problem: no they don't. They have a bunch of redneck basques who just happen to be a little more motivated and sophisticated than the militia you find in the US.
