Graham. > I think the idea "if we don't fight preemptive wars against terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world, the terrorist will bring it home to us", is faulty logic, as is the idea that we are in the early stages of WWIII. The idea that we are surrounded by a huge gathering group of Islamic terrorist, or that there is a terrorist behind ever tree is false fear.
How are the terrorist going to get to America to make war against us; by plane, by ship, by flying saucer? If the terrorists try to enter our country, do you think Immigration is just going to issue them a bunch of green cards so they can come in and attack us? It's ridiculous. Recent studies indicate the present tactic of preemptive war is aggravating the terrorist treat, rather than reducing it, making our country less safe. We need a change in direction towards diplomacy rather than war, cooperation rather than going it alone, a sane foreign policy rather than isolationism, mutual internation respect for one another rather than contempt and arrogance.
