Thread: Why Are Americans So Angry?

Al Qadea has not gotten stronger. They are simply experiencing a come-back from the 3/4 of them we killed or detained in the early years of the wars. Pretty soon people there we understand that joining Al Qaeda is a death sentence.

I will admit the strength of Al Qaefa is exaggerated, however the strength of fundamentalist islam is getting stronger. See what is a death sentence to a person who thinks dying a martha will get you in heaven. Plus saying places like Iraq is getting better and war is nearly won is wrong. Vietnam comes to mind. Seriously speaking why isn't america pulling out its troops from Iraq? The anwser is because it is still messed up. Seriously america is not going to win the Iraq war and then the terriorist will have two places to hide, Iraq and pakistein. Well, assuming the sunni's win.

If we withdraw now, the fanatics there will see it as a victory against the West, and they will become even stronger. This will make them believe that suicide bombing and insurgency are great things in the fight against the West. That cannot happen. It will only reinforce their insane behavior. They will see us as weak and defeatable. It will enpower them.

We we took on fanatical Islam, we started a long war. We have to follow it through, or they will continue.

See if america takes over another country then it will just become another Iraq, does the normal american want another Iraq?

That is another example of judging the future of Iraq by its transition period. It is fallacious to do that. Overthrowing two Islamofascist governments has a lot to do with why we have not been attacked on our soil since 9/11. That caused a lot of hesitation. Even if Al Qaeda wins over the entire Middle East, the Islamofascists do not want us taking over any more countries. You can look at the insurgency to see their reaction to that sort of thing. Taking over another country or two could very well be exactly what will happen if we get attacked here again. They know that.

That is a very important point, and I think it is irrefutable.
