If there is really anything to panic about, why are we sending almost all
of our troops half-way across the world?  Why are they not, in fact,
protecting us here at home?  And another thing, why are we fighting someone
else's war if we as a country are in such jeapordy?  

I think Iraq is merely a decoy to keep our eyes off of what is *really*
going on, and gives a great excuse to use unnecessary power.
