Engr CPL:
Do you think I like war? NOT, but I do want peace and security for our way of life, and to ensure our kids wont have to fight in another war, or to be mass targeted by some wingnut suicide bomber. Sometimes to secure these things we must fight for our own safety, and self preservation, and for everything we believe in.
Maybe you would paint a different picture if an 11 Sep attack happened in say Toronto or at some Grey Cup in the west.
I hate the war in Iraq, as I have friends there right now, but its all just one piece in a giant jigsaw, and the liberation of Iraq was and is essential if the war gainst terror is to advance.
Being agianst a war is one thing, but not seeming to grasp the concequences if we sit back and do nothing is another.
By the look of things you would rather sit back and see radical Islam praised by Saddam, along with other nasty things which were going on there, with other things currently festering in the radical Islamic world and continuing to grow like a galloping cancer, with us as the intended host.
Meanwhile in Jakarta yesterday Abdu Bashir, leader of JI terrorist org has declared that all allies of the USA and the USA itself will be destroyed as Allah wills it. Thhen laughed about the Bali bombings, saying the bombers were not guilty of any crime.
I think this poor excuse for a man should have have visit from ‘black ops‘, and just disappear.
With a 5,000+ member force of radical extremeists, they are continuing to recruit members from radical Islamic schools throughout Indonesia and the region.

To top it off, as of yesterday the Indonesian courts are challenging the death sentances of these pi_$$ weak cowards who killed 202 people in Bali, mainly all westerners of which 89 were Australian, and they might have their death sentances quashed, and be walking the streets in just 2 months, and all of this is seen as a victory to the radicals. What does this tell the radicals, it says yes kill as many infidels as you can, and here in Indonesia, we will give you worldwide publicity then set you free in just a matter of months.
Just remember too, that the Bali bombings killed more people than the AQ attack in Spain, including one man from Wynyard Saskatchewan.
You are right, not every muslim wants us dead, its the radical fundimentalists which do, that I can agree to, but thats about it. Sadly the moderate mulsims are in fear, and will not speak against their fight against the west.
Read bewteen the lines, and right or wrong its your brothers in arms who are doing their bit, while you sit back, attacking the US govt and condem their sacrifice towards a safer world for us all.
Maybe what you need is a face to face meeting with the family of someone who was killed on 11 Sep, or the 12 Oct attacks in Bali, not mentioning about speaking to a young wife with ababy on the way, who lost her husband in a recent RPG attack in Baghdad, or speak to an Iraqi man who for the first time in a generation, who can now speak out, and not fear being killed or tortured.
Wait out,
