Well, the Bouche apologists will tell you, "It's better to fight them over there then here."

First, I'd like to point out how much the Iraqi civilians appreciate our point of view on that issue.

Secondly, have the apologists considered how much we could strengthen our borders, ports, and security with those billions of dollars so we wouldn't have them here to fight? Unless there's some tele-port their using to beam themselves into the US, I don't see how we could have a major influx of terrorists to worry about that compares to what the troops are facing now.

Oh, it only takes one, eh? Yeah, well I have a higher percentage chance of being killed by a drunk American driver.
