The Answer to the War on Terror

So Bush's argument goes this way. We took the war over there to fight them there so we don't have to fight them here. And while where safer than we were before, we're still not safe. But if we pull out of Iraq now we'll embolden the terrorists. Honestly that moronic string of ideas is what I think he keeps saying but I think I have a possible solution.

Now that we've (probably illegally) invaded another country, occupied it for 3 years and been a catalyst for a huge growth in terrorism and terrorists there might be something to not leaving it half finished. So the goal is to get the insurgents to stop fighting. Well since they try to fight us a lot, us leaving might remove their incentive. There will still be internal fighting, but Iraq security forces are stepping up (Bush keeps saying so). But what about all those newly trained terrorists? If we leave won't they want to fight us over here instead of over there? Well if they still think we're a threat they will. The problem is our leader has lied about reasons to go to war, used huge amounts of military force against a nation that did nothing to us, tortured captured enemy combatants, eliminated freedoms at home (warrantless state sponsored eavesdropping, secret laws on travel, dismantling the separation of powers, making voting less secure, the federal government interfering in family medical matters, etc.), failed to protect our citizens during a natural disaster, and angered most of our of our allies. Why would the Iraqi terrorists the Iraqi terrorists think Bush wouldn't go after them again?

Fortunately Bush came up with the only answer. Regime change.

Really what better way to show democracy works than to vote out a corrupt leader. Well in our system, vote for another party, since obviously the Republicans are too bankrupt to vote out someone who's the opposite of their principles that leaves the Democrats (even if you think they aren't deserving, they are the only other choice) and let them impeach our president and vice president and we can move on.

Don't get me wrong, we still need to go after al Qaeda and other terrorists, but without the burden of fighting an unnecessary war and perhaps with the help of old allies who might trust a new regime we'll probably succeed.
