I would like to address something I have heard on more than one occasion that annoys me to no end. And that is the assumption that if we withdraw our troops from Iraq that they (the terrorists) will follow us here. “Better to fight them overseas than here at home” is something along the lines of what I keep hearing. Now, I’m no big city general but I’m pretty sure that if you are the out manned, out gunned, and overwhelmed side of the army, the last thing you want to do is fight on the better armies terms. You’re best bet is to attack them back at home where they are much less defended. And additionally, where the damage you cause will do the most good for your side of the fight. The terrorists already know they can hit us at home and that it is effective. Why would they choose to fight the most well funded army in the world head on when clearly, for them, the best option is what they have always depended on; a horrible and unexpected attack at home. The kind of attack the terrorist can execute if our troops are here at home or away in Iraq. The threat is there no matter where are troops are. So whatdoya say we bring the troops home and focus our attentions on our currently downward spiraling country.
