Yeah, I am saying we should of left Saddam in power. He was crazy, just like that region. He commited alot of horible things, but look at what has happened once that has gone away. A huge power vacuum that even the US military cant help fill. We patrol streets daily, and do our job, and they still IED us. We try to find them but they hide and still IED us. Saddam didnt have that problem, because he would kill the terrorist, then the terrorists friends and family. Kind of hard to have someone seek revenge when they are all dead.

Blah, blah, blah, "another attack on US soil" The same thing could of been said the day before 9/11 about the first WTC attack. So whats your point? Besides, why try to attack on US soil, when they can blow plenty of Americans up in Iraq without all the red tape hassle. We are bringing targets to the terrorists. They have it easy over there. So the apparent cost of a safe home is to let our uniformed services die for your relative protection. Yeah, seems fair I guess.....

And Im not saying pull out today, and leave an even bigger power void for tomorrow, but the longer we stay, without significant gain, the longer they get to take their pot shots at us. And also, Afghanistan was the main focus before Iraq. Afghanistan IS the war on terror. We started that war 2 years earlier, directly after 9/11 attacks. Then we SHIFTED focus to Iraq. For what? You talk about fighting terrorists, then why the fuck did we shift away from the hunt for Osama to pursue Saddam?? What sense does it make??
