Rude, I won't entertain any comparison between what's happening in Iraq today, and WWII.  That's just foolish...I don't mean to be a jerk, but damn.  I also don't think invading Iraq had done anything to make the US safer, and certainly don't think that us just having a strong military presence in Iraq negates the possibility of an attack here in the U.S.  But hey, I too am just a handsomehunk, except I'm from Oregon.
