Howdy Markass,

Our soldiers are fighting the terrorists in Iraq,would you rather have the front-lines moved to America ? By engaging them in Iraq and Afghanistan,we keep them over there,where their traditional bases of operation are at,as well as their State supporters and trainers,the iranians and syrians.

If we withdraw and let Iran take over,we can expect very shortly,to be blackmailed economically,by their shutting down of oil supplies to not only us,but to the West as well..and like the russians,they will use their oil revenues to acquire an even bigger military,as well as acquire nukes more quickly.

I hope that someday,you will feel more like giving back to yer country,instead of just taking from yer country.

Have a good one ...
