The money spent, and being spent, on Afghanistan and Iraq are NOT necessary for our survival. It is actually jeopardizing our survival.
If we simply pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan will the Islamic Fundamentalist look at it as a victory or defeat for their cause? Will it discourage them or embolden them in their quest for world wide conquest? If we go home will they simply go back to making cheap rugs and beating their wives or will it now free up even more men and resources to expand their aggression into other parts of the world?
After we were attacked on 9/11 what would you have done? Nothing? Simply allow Al Queda to continue operating and maintaining a base of operations in Afghanistan? Since every major intelligence agency, including Russian, German, British and French intelligence, believed that Hussein had WMDs, that he has used WMDs in the past against the Kurds and the Iranians, that they actually developed a working nuclear reactor which Israel destroyed, that they continued to violate every UN resolutions including 1441, that they kicked out the inspectors, that they consistently attacked their neighbors and openly proclaimed their expansionist design --- that we should have just taken his word that he no longer had WMDs?
Another ungrateful complacent American who takes his freedom and safety for granted.
