I think that it's fair to say that a withdrawl now would show a weakness in America that would practically call each and every terrorist out of hiding to attack the red, white, and blue.

Do you think if there is a troop withdrawal in Iraq terrorist activities will follow the soldiers to Western soil?
I just want to ty for explaining your "no". You are the first to at least attempt to disprove the theory. There have been nine no votes cast and you are the first to engage the other side.Turquoise wrote:
I voted "no" under the understanding that the question is stating a comparison. In other words, I don't think withdrawal will increase the number of attacks on us more so than continual involvement. I believe we will continue to be under the threat of attack, but going to war continuously does not make us any safer.
The focus should be on border security, better airport security, stricter immigration, and more balanced foreign policy. If we continue acting as a threatening aggressor, we will only make more enemies. We must return to "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
Lately, we've been doing "Shoot first, ask questions later..."

I agree, it won't cause an increase but it is also unlikely to cause a decrease.Turquoise wrote:

Well, that may be true, but the difference is that even Reagan wasn't spending as much on the arms race as Bush has on Iraq. Reagan brought us to new levels of debt, but Bush has pushed us even further. The War with Iraq has cost us $379 billion so far, at approximately $6 billion a month. That's pretty amazing in terms of debt.BigmacK wrote:

Just want to say that, and also that I'm glad that you didn't bring in oil as a reason for worry, Turquoise.
With the american government? Debt just comes. We haven't had a trade surplus in ages. And don't confuse budget surplus with trade surplus.BigmacK wrote:

Well than do me a big favor, Make sure they stay up there then will ya? Thanks a bunch.d4rkst4r wrote:

I voted yes and I'm not saying there will never be another attack simply because we're in Iraq. I am saying that terrorists will have more freedom to organize and coordinate attacks. And there hasn't been another terrorist attack on the US since we went into Iraq. Coincidence? You decide.Spearhead wrote:
It will happen, regardless of what we do in Iraq. Terrorism has no boundaries. Terrorists are CHOOSING to go into Iraq, they weren't there until after we invaded.
Terrorism is meant to terrify civilians..... attacking Americab soldiers in Iraq isn't fulfilling that purpose. So people who say flat out "Yes" are pretty much saying that there will never be another terrorist attack as long as we are in Iraq? THAT is political manipulation.. It will happen regardless.
