We have a conflict concerning the Iraq war which is on the one hand we have the Democrats saying we need to get out of there as soon as possible and on the other hand we have people saying that if we do not stay the course we will surely be fighting these fanatics here on our own soil. Whether we like it or not it is better we fight them there than fighting them here. No matter how hard we try to put on the blinders our getting out of Iraq is only going to postpone the conflict until it happens on our shores again. The thing that we have to face up to is that this is clash between religious philosophies or ideologies and we as a nation cannot live under strict Islamic life because our free American spirit will not let us do that as we cherish our freedoms too much. Live free or die trying.........
