Terrorist! If we were not there .....

First off let me state I am an ex-military veteran, USN. I served during the Persian Gulf Conflict in 1990-1991. (back when we should of taken care of this problem) So I am speaking somewhat from experience.

9-11, I know we all remember this sad day, and does everybody remember the nation rising together and praying and displaying our patriotism? That lasted for what seemed like a brief moment in history. Now we are going into another election year and the candidates like to use the Iraq War as a forum of discussion. Well, here is my 2 cents...if we were not over there right now, we as Americans would not be able to attend football games, concerts, go to amusement parks or attend any function without worry about them attacking us. If we were not over there, they (meaning terrorist) would be here!!! Face it, it is true. I hate the fact we are still there and this is like Vietnam, a war we can not win. They are an army without uniform, they attack and run and hide behind women and children and when we go after our attackers and kill the innocent they hide behind, then we look like War Mongers. I do not necessarily agree that what we have done is right, but we did need to respond to what happened to us on our soil.

So for these politicians that want to withdrawal, what will happen? We must stand together and unite like we did, but not after a tragedy, but prior. And this is responsible for our current dollar situation, which is hurting our market.
Again, let's unite and go back to basics. Our country needs it!
