I thought the reason for being in Iraq is that we were fighting terrrorists there so that we wouldn't have to fight them here at home. Well one of the reasons, anyway. So if the strategy of fighting-them-there so that we-don't-have-to-fight-them-here is valid, wouldn't that mean that terrorists wouldn't be on the verge of entering the U.S. to implement some terrible plot? If we still have to defend the borders and watch for bad guys about to do bad things, wouldn't it make more sense to put those hundreds of billions of dollars (that we're spending on the Iraq war) to work keeping things secure over here -- since, as it turns out, we have to do that anyway?
