I recently spoke with a friend of mine that I ran into at TJ Max. She said that she was intending on voting republican in the next election and that she supported the war because she believed if they weren’t fighting over there, then they would be attacking us in the US. I don’t really believe that. I think that if they wanted to bomb us over here, then that is exactly what they would do. Just our presence over in Iraq isn’t going to stop the terrorists from crashing a plane into a U.S. building if that is what they want to do. I guess that the strategy is supposed to be: we bring stability to the region and then the terrorists won’t have any power to attack us. I guess I don’t really know… Anyways, I thought I would post another comment that I got in a email from a soldier I know over in Iraq right now. I hope everyone finds his viewpoint as interesting as I do.<\/p>\n
We are fighting in the wrong places to stop the war on terrorism.
\nIraq was not a major threat to us. We took 2 major divisions of the
\nArmy and stomped its ass into the dirt, don’t get me wrong it was two
\nof the more elite divisions the army has but still, we used minimal
\nforce to destroy our enemies. To me that does not yell out major
\nthreat to the United States. Afganistan was needed, I will admit
\nthat, Iraq was not in the least bit needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
