Torog, I agree with you that the US needs to do what we can to spread Democracy BUT don't you feel that the real target should have been more seriously drawn on Bin Laden first? According to Kerry in the first debate, there were 75 other countries AHEAD of Iraq on the list of the most dangerous to America. Yes, the Iraqis were living in hell under Saddam's rule but what about the ppl living under Communist rule, like Cuba or China? Is the US supposed to take up arms against any country that treats their citizens unfairly? I don't think it is our responsiblilty to police the world in that way. Our troops should defend our country if need be but they shouldn't have to put their lives on the line unless our freedom is at stake.


I know this may sound harsh coming from a "bleeding heart Liberal". I'm glad that I live in the US and I understand how lucky I am but unless there is a threat to us, our armed forces in Iraq should be finding Bin Laden and the rest of those murderers. I know we have special agents looking in Afganistan (a local father of 3 was just shot in the back of the head there in Febraury) but we need more!
