Bush might be a bad president for the economy, but he knows what hes talking about with us staying over in Iraq... Kerry's idea is to pull all of our troops out of Iraq and offer peace... What about goverment over there... The Iraqi Terroist will launch a retaliation strike on America if we dont stay and deafeat terroism and when that does happen (cause we all know it will) we will lose alot of economic power, not to mention American lives... That will soon lead us to fall... Thats my prediction for America if and when Kerry's elected
I think your prediction is extremely biased, because you have no idea whatsoever how Kerry would handle a situation. Before we went to Iraq, there was one major terrorist attack on American soil in the past 8 or so years, and the Oklahoma city bombing was done by an American, so you take that out and the last major attempt at terrorism on American soil was in 1991. If you terrorize our country, then yes, there should be some form of retaliation, but starting a war on terrorism itself is inane. Why? Because you can't go to war with a fucking idea. No matter what we do, there will still be terrorists around. Now, we believe that Al-qaieda (sp?) attacked us, and we more or less thoroughly dealt with them, but to go to war with Iraq based on some asinine assumption is stupid.

Also, what do you think will make the Iraqi terrorists launch an attack on America? Is it their ICBMs? Is it there mass quantity of planes? No! The only reason that they would attack America is because they absoultely loathe it, and much of it, in my opinion, is due to the recent events that have occurred. If the terrorists had the type of weapons you are talking about, and the ability to use them, they would have already tried to do everything they could to use those weapons.

The bottom line is, it's our job to defend our country, not to be belligerent warmongers who attack any country that we believe may pose a threat to us. It does us no good to have a jingoist as a president.
