You do realize this thread is 10 years old don't you?
Alright I have said repeatedly we should not be in Iraq. At the time I still think I was right.
Having said that the situation in Iraq has changed, ISIS is an ideological group with the
destruction and world domination in their sites. They are really fighting on the basis of a
Caliphate envisioned in around 600ad. To keep it short it is a Muslim version of the end
times nonsense. No its not real but its real to them and that is what the problem is.
We can no longer sit by and watch from the sidelines. No matter how peaceful we want to
be reality is that we fight or for the first time cut and run. If we leave the Middle East and
have to come back in later we could be emotionally shunned by other nations. Don't think
its a big deal? Belgium left the field when Leopold I believe withdrew from war. It didn't
save that country in the end and it left a bad taste in the mouths of the rest for decades.
Learn from history. You can't stand four square with Paris and run at the same time.
I don't like it, the situation being what it is there is no choice however in my view.
To show that the same conversation was happening still.Why in Hell would Munchie dig up a ten-year-old thread just to say the obvious? ;-)
