The only way to solve the problem of terrorism is to address the root causes.

And that is why we need to have the guts to finish a mission and root them out of all their hiding places.
Innocent people are not all killed by American's most are killed by insurgents. Thousands were killed by terrorists before we even went to help.
It is too easy and too much of a cop out to state that the Afghani woman is right because our forces being over there is just like a terrorist crashing a plane into the twin towers and we should leave so no more people die.
Give me a damn break. MANY people are warm and receptive yet ONE person makes a glaring accusation.
Mirandee doesn't see the multitude that support the effort -only the ONE that supports her hate for our government and Military forces (ALL coalition forces).
Great Post Lioneye.. It is always refreshing to see the other side.
Personally, I'd like to see the troops out of some areas. Why should one of our guys die for a country that supports terrorism (by that I mean all coalition fighters)?
See our Liberals don't quite understand why we support the war. Terrorism is like cancer that has the potential to spread throughout the body. The only way to stop it is through aggressive treatment - sometimes that makes the person sick, sometimes other cells are killed - but you have to wipe it out or if not caught in time the whole body dies.
No doctor sits out to destroy the other organs in the body, nor are they on some mission to blow out the functions of the body. The treatment is to cut out, remove and put into remission the cancer.It is to return the body to a healthy state.
That same is true with the war effort- but the world is the body and the terrorist are cancer cells hiding throughout the body.
Killing 10 terrorists is not even close to equaling the loss of one of our Soldiers. Not even 100 of those evil bas*tards could amount to the strenth and courage of the men and women fighting in the M.E.
Still, it has to be done and for some reason many of the lefties would rather see terrorists live, regroup and wreak havoc on another country, another city, while commiting genocide of other people... while we sit back and sing songs of peace.
And when it happens to us again.. what do we do? Send happy thoughts and bear hugs while hoping we didn't say something that brought it on and make them angry? We aren't battered women here... we're a country and we aren't about to make excuses for people that attack us...
Then again.. one must believe THEY attacked us and not the famous liberal theory that our government did it to ourselves.
