Terrorism will continue to grow
After nearly four-and-a-half years of war, the argument over
Iraq has become very tired indeed.
The left claims that the war was stupid then, and that it's even
more stupid today. The right of course says that we fight terrorism
abroad or we'll have to fight it at home - like the rest of the
world maybe? Blah, blah, blah, ad infinitum.
But then, every now and again a little nuance is added, and the
old argument gets reinvigorated. Case in point: Recently a report
came down stating that al-Qaida has not only reconstituted itself,
but is now even bigger than before the attacks of 9/11 - evidence
for the left that the Bush effort to thwart al-Qaida has been an
abject failure. The right, once again, has a different take. They
say that al-Qaida may have grown in some respects, but the threat
to our homeland has been severely compromised. Many experts
conclude that the arguments amounts to push. But the left is
angered by the thought of more than 3,000 dead for a push.
Consequently, more fuel gets thrown on the "get out of Iraq now"
fire. The right then counters with the belief that leaving Iraq
before the job is done would be like spitting on the graves of
those who have sacrificed everything for a just cause.
Confused? Well don't be. Terrorism around the world grows right
along with population. And since world population isn't going to
decline anytime soon, then we can all expect terrorism - and
al-Qaida - to continue to grow. The argument for the left then
becomes: If terrorism is inevitable, and attacking it in Iraq is
quite possibly making it worse, then leaving Iraq now will most
likely make it better.
Don't believe it. That's like sticking your head in the sand and
allowing terrorism to rule the night. But it's not about letting
terror grow in the dark. It's about making it glow in the dark. And
that's exactly what we're doing - at least until the Billary Obama
show begins in '09. What a great country.

The fact is if the Dems would have had
some one to run against Bush the last time they just might hsve one...One
thing I never hear is about Radical
Islam.They are about 250-300 million
strong and all the want is this world under control of Islam no more no less.
Think that's a lot of B/S just look at
europe and look at how many are here...
