I agree w/ the posts here that the political leaders don't have shit to do w/ the common person, like you or I.

Having said that, terrorism isn't a "threat". It happened. And still does.

I recently watched some home video that one of my smoking buddies' brother took while on tour in Iraq. There was video of road mines placed in public roads (where Iraqi civilians travel daily). There was also video of insurgents opening fire on American civilian workers in Iraq in the middle of a busy intersection. NO REGARD FOR INNOCENT LIFE!!! They place car bombs at the entrances of Mosques where people go to pray.

Not for one second should you believe the spin that CNN (communist news network) says that the insurgents are fighting for the Iraqi people. NEWS FLASH: the insurgents aren't Iraqi. They just hate you, as an american, or as a member of a capitalist society. That's why they want to kill you. Don't believe me?

Whatever the reason for starting a shit-storm in Iraq (of which I have serious issues), the fight now is against terrorists.

Just a thought.
