having spent the last 3 yrs in the military im going to say no. if the president had said gas prices are on the rise and we need cheap oil so we're gonna go take this fucker out, then i would have been on board. had he said this fucker tried to kill my daddy so we're gonna go get'em then id have been on board with that too. had he even said this dude looked at me wrong so we gonna get'em, i wouldnt have been happy about it but i could get on board with that. but to say there were fundamentalists operating in iraq, no. sadam hated fundamentalists almost as much as they hated him. since we are there we shouldnt leave until the country is stable, which is going to be a very, very long time. the US didnt stop policing germany until sometime in the mid 50s, and there was anti american terrorist groups operating(as in going out and blowing shit up.) until the late 80s.
