Right on the nosey!!!!! Concentrating on "just" Iraq is not giving people the opportunity to realize the severity of the situation. The "Holy War" has been a long time in coming to fruition. There is a movement by extremist Islamics to truly control the world. They are willing to destroy all peoples who stand up to them and control all who lay down and submit. The USA is fighting these radicals as a matter of self preservation, both financially and culturally. It's a big world with big business and big enemies. The alternative I suppose is to reserve a place on the International Space Station....it should take some decades for the current situation on Earth to blossom there. ========================= Exactly. And it is time for the "moderates", if they exist at all, of Islam to crush the Islamist radicals or become collateral damage from the action we must take to defend oursleves.
