If America is on the course of collision with the entire islamic religion you are in one huge heap of trouble. How do you expect to get anything positive out of that? You cannot wage war against a religion!!
We really only have a problem with the extreamists in the Islamic religion. Problem is that alot of the moderates support what the extreamists do...not necessarily publicly, but often fiscally.

Looks like when we are on offense we are keeping them on their toes. I mean we haven't had a terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. Several terrorists plots, like Fort Dix and the JFK airport plots, got twarted - looks like we are on top of things.

If the Democrats win next Novemember, we will follow the Harry Reids and pull out leaving Iraq to its own devices. Hopefully Iraq won't be another Afganistan, but this time with oil instead of poppy plants. Or Iran won't annex a third of the country. Or Turkey won't kill the Kurds.

The economy is doing very well, actually. Stock market is very close to its all-time high. Unemployement is at 4.5%. Incomes are rising, especially for lower wage workers. Interest rates are near historic lows. The housing crisis is making a softer than expected landing. Exports for United States goods are going up. Actually what we are worrying about right now is inflation (look for interest hikes soon to slow down the economy).
Additionally it seems like the $2 billion a week we are spending is actually a stimulus to the economy? Or perhaps its the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 that are helping spur the economy to Bill Clinton-esk prosperity that we had in the 90s?
