slfnk, yes win, i don't believe that al qaida gets stronger with every defeat.  i used to beleive the way you believe but i have read a lot and now i believe that we must fight, what method is debatable. i don't think that europe is anti war i think they are anti american and iraq is pretext for their hatred.WHERE WERE THE PROTEST FOR 5000 KURDS BEING GASSED? WHERE WERE THE PROTEST FOR ISRAEL BEING MISSLED? but we have protest for u.s.attacking iraq? why?????
