when 9-11 happened we did two things wrong.

1) we told the whole world our war strategies. france did that in one of the world wars, i think it was the second world war (sorry, i'm tired). when i went to germany about ten years ago some of our shows came on their tv. they watch our news you know. if you want you can read the french news on the internet. bush had to make a desicion but i think he should have approached it differently. otherwise i like him as a president.

2) we have once again, had another vietnam pointless war with men and woman pointlessly missing their families, losing body parts and dieing. i say bring the troops back NOW.

it makes my stomach turn from the time i saw the towers falling on tv that morning 9-11, to watching us over in iraq the way we are handling 9-11. i am conservative when i vote but my parents who are conservative do not agree with me about brining the troops home. so i know many people will have many ideas. these are just mine.

Agree on this issue completely. Bring the troops home immediately; no more "stay the course" nonsense that is responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Even before our troops went into Afghanistan some on the left were comparing the war to Vietnam.
Iraq, not Afghanistan. Regardless, so what?

Makes no sense.
Indeed, your post seems rather pointless.

I bet the SOME on the right felt the same way. So what? SOME people wanted to drop a nuclear bomb. SOME on the right didn't want to go into Iraq or Afghanistan.

I can make claims like this all day long.

I was not opposed to going into Afghanistan at the time. There was a meaningful amount of international support and clearly they were harboring Al Qaeda/Bin Ladin.

I was strongly opposed to going into Iraq because it was obvious that Bush had not made a good case for it. It was very clear that he simply wanted a war. That was obvious from the moment that he started began to push for it.

Bush then proceeded to mess up terribly by virtually ignoring Afganistan and then sucking our remaining resources into his misguided war on Iraq.

And now both places are falling apart.

Bush is a disaster on multiple fronts and almost every issue.
