The article though also points out what I said- it is a magnet for terrorists from other countries.
Look- I have never said war is a good thing- and I have no way to know how history will treat Iraq- I do know however, that if they want to come there, and we are there- that if we kill or capture them- that is a good thing.
Look- terrorists are going to do what they do- they are going to be drawn to places of conflict. They are going to sow discord, violence and strife.....but the fact, in my view remains, that we have to do the fighting- we can not buy peace by negotiation, nor by retreat.
Let's say we pull out of Iraq- hell, let's just remove ourselves from the Middle East altogether. Some people think that will bring peace- but it won't.
Example- Gaza.
Israel pulls out- and Hamas celebrates the successful results of their violence.
Same principle- if terrorists and insurgents drive us away- if we leave the area, the message is clear. That we will retreat in the face of violence- and that will empower them to believe (because these people are hardly known for rational thought) they their actions drove us out, and they will want to continue.
One just has to understand the goal of radical islam- and that is world domination under their law and beliefs.
