Irie, Do you remember the Cole, the african emb bombings, the first world trade center, even somalia and more. We were attacked many times but did nothing about it. I am not a fan of the wars or how badly they were run but they have been hitting us for years and the only thing these people understand is force. You cant reason with people who blow up school buses full of children and markets full of women in the name of Alah. You cant reason with people who twist religion and use it for justification to kill. Send little children or mentally hadicap women strapped with bombs to crouded markets and blow them up by remote. They just understand nothing else and if the wars were never waged, they would still want o kill us and anyone else who does not think as they do. Bush has been an idiot but he has been tough and not hid under his desk at least.
