Because most liberals... haven't had a lot of experience outside of cozy little America. They see only discrimination against Muslims from Christians, not the horrible things that fundamentalist Muslims are doing. I still opposed the war in Iraq, but not the one in Afghanistan. I think the civil rights of gays is going to be the great liberal movement of this century, but people are forgetting that women in the Middle East could sure use some help (I read a story a while back about a women who has executed because a man raped her - disgusting).

I agree. This is my experience, as well. MOst liberals haven't had a lot of experience outside of their cozy little suburbs and intellectual ivory towers, and can't even be bothered to spend time in the ghettos of cozy little America...
The women of the middle east could DEFINITELY use some help.

Iraq is providing a rallying point for islamists from around the middle east. They are gathering in Iraq to attack the American forces, and expending their money, personnel, and weapons on our well-prepared killers.
Said forces being perfectly happy to kill them by the dozens.
These folks can't be reformed, MIC. They're diseased. They need to be culled from the herd before they infect others.
Sorry to sound harsh, but that's how I see it.
If the Iraqi election, on the other hand, goes as well as the one in Afghanistan did, it will send a message to other nations and people there...and I believe messages have already been sent insofar as the U.S.'s willingness to tolerate any and all threats.
If we really wanted to brutalize that area, it'd be far easier, in terms of personnel and casualties, to do so. We could have decimated Iraq leaving nothing but charred rubble if that were our wish.
