it is a big deal. you're absolutely on the mark.the thing is toronto,like it or not we are the one left standing after the cold war.we're the big dog (so to speak).do you really think we enjoy having to do police work thruout the world?answer..no. but we do know that after shedding tons of blood for our own democracy including 600,000 lives in our own civil war, that maybe with our presence Iraq can avoid their own large scale all out civil war.if we could blink our eyes and make it go back to where it was before, i'm sure most americans would do it, but we cant.simply put,we learned from vietnam one thing for sure. if you break it,fix it.yes we started this and now the only honorable thing to do is help fix it. if a majority of iraqis wanted us out,im sure more than 2 U.S. deaths per day would be occurring. thing is, were not perfect and we try too hard to be just that. before pearl harbor there was an overwhelming isolationalist attitude towards "europes war". just think how many lives would have been spared had we had the balls to back britain and france from the jump.how many years may have been cropped off the war.this is a war against islamist fascists whether you like or not. they have stated their goals.read em and dont laugh like many did at hitler's "mein kamph". also,on a side note, i believe you do have the right to criticize america's foreign policy as it affects everyone in the world. however,bear in mind if our goal was to conquer the world for our own gain i believe we would start with canada and mexico.lots of oil and i must admit canada exclusively, the very best sticky-icky.but as far as who we elect as president of our country,its our business and we will ***** about it no matter who is elected.we will also take pleasure in the sucesses and suffer the consequences of failure.enough babble.i can tackle my brother and put him in the headlock,but if try to do the same, you will be attacked.bush in my opinion is an idiot, but hes our idiot,not yours.matter of fact,if many of us agree hes such an idiot, how does he keep putting together all of these "conspiracies" that hes accused of?lol. in closing i would like to point out that i have publicly stated here that i believe my president is a good-hearted pit bull of an idiot and i have no fear of losing my job,house,or life.
