I was walking down a hall at work, passed the Canteen, and the boys were talking about how it looks like we're going to war.
Maybe 9/11 shouldn't have happened, but I believe more blame should be placed on the scum that did it, and less on the governments/other organizations involved. Its like blaming gun-control laws for murder and suicide.
As for the fighting over there, I can't say the middle east is a fun place to be right now, and I can think of a million things I'd rather do then wander around the desert dodging IEDs. I'm not American, though we're still slugging it out in Afganistan.
I made a choice to be a soldier, and I'll go back over and over until we either run out of enemies, or I'm dead. I'd rather fight them on thier turf, then have them damaging my cities, killing my citizens, and putting my family at risk here in north America. They way I see it, for every terrorist I get to come out and trade bullets with me in the middle east is one less terrorist available to bomb a shopping mall in my home.
Still, I'd rather be fishing[
