Is the average american safer now that Bush is "fighting terror"?

Bush is not alone in the 'fight against terror' Every person with half a brain should support this 'fight'. But what we should also do is try to eliminate the cause of some of this 'terror'. Many people become 'terrorists' through injustices done to them and their communities. The search for justice should be a big part of this fight against terror.

as long as the Bush hateing left are unable to disarm us and take away our right to bear arms then yes we are safer.

No, not when 90% of the nations of the world are against our methods of "fighting terror".

I live in NYC, let me tell you I will never be as safe as I was on 9/10/01.
If I was to be safer, things would have gotten back to normal and there wouldn't be soldiers armed with M-16s in the train stations.

No. We're poorer, more frightened and less educated, but not safer.

Absolutely!!! Anyone who thinks different is either a Bush hating Liberal or an idiot!!

No because he gives the terrorist something to rally against.
A direct shot at an american soldier.

I can tell you FOR A FACT, the 95% of the "insurgents" in Iraq are from countries other than Iraq. They come from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Yemen ... just about every country except Iraq. Many speak English very well, and most say the same thing. They have come to Iraq ONLY for the opportunity to kill Americans. With that mindset, there is no talking sense to these people. There is only one thing they understand, and that is the language of firearms, the language of ambush, the language of bombs, the language of death.

We cannot do a lot to influence what or how they think. What we can control to a great degree, though, is the time and place we fight. Our Commander in Chief, President Bush, has chosen now to be the time and Iraq to be the place. It is a decision that the vast majority of people in the military agree with.

If we were not in Iraq fighting these very bad men, many of them would choose to try to come to America to kill Americans. They only want to kill Americans. They go to Iraq because Americans are there, and it is easier for them to get there. If we were not there, they would have no choice but to come to the United States to commite their vile acts.

Who do you think stands a better chance against fighting terrorists? American soldiers who have volunteered to fight them, been trained to fight them and truly understand what needs to be done? Or ordinary American citizens like you and your neighbors?

Where do you think is the better place to fight them? Iraq - where a great many number of terrorists are now concentrated and we can kill many of them at one time? Or in America - where they live amongst us, learn our ways and use that knowledge to kill thousands of us like 9/11?

Make no mistake about it - fighting these terrorists is a necessary evil. If we do not fight them in Iraq now, we would be fighting them in New York tomorrow. Or Los Angeles. Or Houston. Or Topeka. Or Miami.

The men and women of our armed forces see the answer to this question clearly. The their lives on the line on a daily basis so that you and your mom don't have to worry about dying in your own community at the hands of terrorists. It is a task we take on gladly because we truly see what is at stake.

Any life lost is an irreplaceable tragedy that will have unknown impact of the US and the world. At the same time, their sacrifice is saving an untold number of innocent lives who simply want to live life to its fullest.

Realize that for every terrorist we fight and kill over there - by men and women who VOLUNTEER to do it - we make this country a little safer for every American citizen over here.

yes, and if the press would stop telling the enemy what we are doing, we would be alot safer

â™¥fluffybunnyears

yes

Blah blah blah

darkemoregan

No. Not really. We're as safe now as we were then. Iraq has become a training ground for terrorism. They've exported their methods to other countries. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. But so many people believe that, it's not even funny....

dukalink6000

I think the average American is less safe.

starting over

Yes, I think so. As much as many people don't want to believe it, Osama is on the run, he has not been seen in almost 2 years. They are so busy terrorizing their Iraq, because we are their, that they do not have the energy, manpower or money to put much effort into us.

Of course we still have our own brand of homegrown idiots, but we did catch them before something happened.

I think Bush is being every effective in this arena.

Hey SGT_K....well said. Way to go. Thanks,
