Lefties...these people WILL come here if we tuck tail and run. Do you want this on your heads?

West Carolina is the state that is bordered by North Carolina to the east, South Carolina and Georgia to the south, and Tennessee to the west, part of Virginia is to the north.
Asheville is considered to be the capital, but those of us farther to the west are considering an uprising to establish Waynesville as the new capital due to the actions of the people in the beltway of Asheville.

TP,

Resident Lefty here to explain.

You may have noticed that our presence in the middle east has rather inflamed things of late - radicalizing Iraqis, emboldening Iran, etc. I'm more worried about what will happen if we stay in Iraq, and this is what the Stay The Course Republicans don't get.

Our presence will elongate the problem. See Vietnam? Nice country, I hear. Stable, relatively friendly. Hardly the domino some warned of.

And the terrorists you say are itching to get over here to snipe our shoppers - What are you talking about? Let's say that a half-dozen guys get over here and start picking off my people at the Lowe's. Does this mean we are obligated to Stay The Course in Iraq, a Course that's cost over 3,000 American soldiers, over 100,000 Iraqi civilians? How many more people have to die for you to feel safe that a few whackjobs won't try to snipe you?

Enough with the Scaredy-cat foreign policy. It's not 'tuck tail and run', it's 'when you're in a hole stop digging'.

That is all.

You mean the Middle East wasn't unstable or radical before Bush invaded Iraq? Wow. Thanks for clearing that up, Screwy Hoolie!

I believe thunderpig's point was the terrorist jihadists would like to come over here and kill us in general. I don't think he literally meant they want to come overe here and snipe us. They usually attack on much larger scales. You know, that whole 9/11 thing? Or 7/7 in London? The Madrid train bombings? The schoolhouse massacre in Beslan? Urban bombings in Bali? Bagnkok? Dehli? Moscow? Tel Aviv and Jerusalem? The African embassy bombings? The foiled Millenium plots? The USS Cole? Khobar Towers in Dharhan? Operation Bojinka? The Latin American bombings of Israel targets by Hezbollah in the 90's? The first WTC bombing? Pam Am Flight 103? Or how about all the way back to our Marine barracks in Beirut? Any of these ring a bell? Or are you too busy reliving and refighting Vietnam to realize that terrorism and jihad began long before March 2003?

Baron,
The Left has this problem of revisionist history; when you're busy rewriting history, it's kinda hard to remember what actually happened, as opposed to what you wish to make others think happened.

Also, both you guys: I'm now posting photos on a 'more regular' basis at my photoblog. Go take a look.

Screwy,
I know you think I am nuts, but I know of ways that less than a hundred terrorists could effectively end our Constitutional Republic. This is the Age of the Superempowered Individual, and we need to keep their attention focused over there until we can effect a regime change in Iran. It would be easier to do it if our nation presented a unified front so that we might get it accomplished with the least amount of killing as possible. We are being forced into a military option. Iran should have been taught a lesson a generation ago. I blame President Carter, and every President to follow. Carter goes to the head of the class in his dunce hat because he could have stopped it when it was relatively easy, and would have only cost a few thousand of our soldiers.
President Reagan followed the flawed 'Proxy War' model used during WW III--The Cold War, and was out maneuvered.
President Bush 41 made a mistake, and followed the United Nations guidelines in not going to Baghdad in 1991.
President Clinton ignored the problem by calling it a Law Enforcement Problem.
President Bush 43 was on his way to basically ignore the problem if they left us alone. He chose the hard road.
I was genuinely surprised we didn't toss off a dozen or so nukes to get their attention, and let them know we weren't in the mood to take any crap.
That is my philosophy. Nip it in the bud.
Unlike some people, I welcome debate. My best friend when I was growing up did not agree with me on most political issues. We tolerated each others misguided views.
