If people are being misstreated in other countries by their dictatorial rulers, I'd say that gives us the right, in the same way as inequalities within our countries make us upset.

I have to agree with you Tom ---if we had done the right thing in the 1940s they may have been millions of Jews still alive ----the stick your head in the sand approch to world politics usually comes back and bites you on the ass ---Both of my son's have been to Iraq as I did in the first Gulf conflict ---and both of them said and I quote "we should have gone in sooner" they believe we should be there ---As does almost Every Marine I have talked to that has been there ---it is easy to sit here safe in your living room and second guess what should or should not be done---and the politicians that go for a visit to see first hand what is going on---What a Crock----they never get down and dirty with the people of the land ----Right or Wrong ---is no longer a question that should be asked ----We are there ---Lets do what it take to Win ---or all the soldiers and Marines will have gave their life in vain

Lets support the troops and quit fighting about if we should or should not be there ---both Democrats and Republicans --Supported the war when it began ---yes maybe on faulty intel but that is not unusual if you have ever been in the Military ---

just my opinion ---from a personal side ---one of my sons is back there now and I as so proud of both of them ---they volunteered -----and doing what needs to be done

But the war will never be won with politics-----or keeping things from our troops that could save lives just because it was not made in the US or fully tested by the US ----We should be taking notes from Israel they have been fighting terrorist for years we are the new kids on the block in this kind of war
