Obviously you have never served in the Military and have no idea or the stomach for what "WAR" is. I will assure you 5000 volunteers dead in 8 years on two fronts is not a war. US causalities barely eclipse those who died in ONE hour on 9-11. Of course they don't matter because its far more politically correct and fun to cry out against the "skirmish" in Iraq.
Im guessing you voted for Obama. Here an enlightened read for someone outside the country who witnessed the recent election of a nobody with no record. Someone whom his voters would have thought was another captured terrorist if they heard his name in passing on the News.

The swooning frenzy over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation. At least Mandela-worship – its nearest equivalent – is focused on a man who actually did something.
I really don’t see how the Obama devotees can ever in future mock the Moonies, the Scientologists or people who claim to have been abducted in flying saucers. This is a cult like the one which grew up around Princess Diana, bereft of reason and hostile to facts.It already has all the signs of such a thing. The newspapers which recorded Obama’s victory have become valuable relics. You may buy Obama picture books and Obama calendars and if there isn’t yet a children’s picture version of his story, there soon will be.
Proper books, recording his sordid associates, his cowardly voting record, his astonishingly militant commitment to unrestricted abortion and his blundering trip to Africa, are little-read and hard to find.
If you can believe that this undistinguished and conventionally Left-wing machine politician is a sort of secular saviour, then you can believe anything. He plainly doesn’t believe it himself. His cliche-stuffed, PC clunker of an acceptance speech suffered badly from nerves. It was what you would expect from someone who knew he’d promised too much and that from now on the easy bit was over.
