No one said this war was going to be easy, all of you who oppose it should have to live with it and realize that without those troops, we wouldn't be free.

You sound so indoctrinated with all this anti-terror malarkey and your later post about liberals being anti-American.
I would say liberals actually stand more for what American values are...like liberty.

The war in Iraq will not destroy terrorism or "destroy all the terrorists who hate us". If anything it's fuelled more terrorism as young impressionable Muslims in countries like Iraq have seen what America has done and turned to radicalism.
Although terrorism can't be eradicated it can be reduced through diplomacy, education, peaceful things! And it can also be reduced through beefing up security, think of the billions that have been spent on the war in Iraq that could have been spent on US security.
I really don't believe terrorism is a big a problem as the US government makes it out to be, they exaggerate the problem to make people frightened, frightened people are generally easier to control
