Most , if not all, Americans need to be reformatted and re-educated on the terminology and definitions of this new type of ideological confrontation. The word War is very misleading to people in todays age. In the past, War was mainly defined as a Nation vs. Nation Confrontation or one alliance of territories vs another alliance of territories. The common denominator was land, Battles were fought to gain real ground (land). A Victory was declared when one alliance overuns the land of the other and holds it without the possibilty of the enemy of regaining control of it. In the past this was easy to determine because a white flag would eventually symbolize the surrender of one alliance to another and conditions would then be finalized and the war would be over. War should be a term only used when there is this possibilty of a finalized conclusion.

The World, as well as Americans, must purge themselves of these traditional terms that the media pounds into our heads which subliminally distort the reality of this confrontation. Ignorance is born when the parents are both mis-termed and its definitions are misunderstood. Simply assigning the wrong terminology to a situation leads to confusion, and confusion combined with no rational understanding of its definition leads to ignorance. Therefore the world stands confused and ignorant of this ideological confrontation that needs its own vocabulary to describe it correctly.

First of all, Nobody likes War except the one who declares it. Republicans and Democrats share this belief, Democrats are using this as their platform to gain control of the Government so they can raise your taxes. Republicans did not declare War on any one. They simply are pursuing a strategic counter attack on those who want to impose their ideology on us. When someone punches you, you have two choices, walk away or punch back, the Democrats under Clinton decided to walk away, but this did not work because they decided to follow us and attack again in a fight to the death. 
If Democrats were in charge they would stand there and get their ass kicked or run away hoping their pursuant gets too tired to chase them, while forever looking over their shoulder. (pansy or weak attitude)
Replublicans took a stand and decided not just to hold their ground but to attack them (which every strong american would do). 

There-in lies the Rub.

The word or term WAR was used to describe this stategic counter attack by America.
"WRONG WORDS were assigned to this conflict which led to WRONG DEFINITIONS WHICH LED TO MISINTERPRETATION, CONFUSION AND IGNORANCE".

STATEGIC COUNTER ATTACK best describes this conflict. Our Enemy which declared this Ideological Holy War on us has no specific Home base. We are chasing them now wherever it takes us. Afghanistan was where they trained, Iraq's Government under Hussein was an obstacle to pursuing them. Hussein would not allow our planes and strategic deployment of forces to implement our attack on al queda in Afghanistan. He, in essence was blocking us from accomplishing our mission by providing an unannouced safe haven or territory for al queda to fall back to if attacked in afghanistan. Al Queda could then taunt us with a (whack a mole defense) by using Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan as well as Iran if necesssary to hide behind as we attacked them in Afghanistan. They would use nations to hide behind because we would basically have to declare war on a nation in order to pursue them. Which we would need congressional support and resolutions and all the other red tape crap in order to declare war on these nations in order to pursue these radicals across nation borders. None of those countries would allow us to pursue these radical militants across their borders. So Hussein and his challenging and non-cooperative government taunted us by not disclosing their pursuit of weapons provided us the reason to remove him and his threat to our military in our strategic plan to dismantle and destroy these radical militants. Iraq became our launching point against these radicals once Hussein was removed. Now they cant fall back and hide under the wing of a tyrannical dictator. We no longer have to seek permission to fly over Iraq or deploy troops and now we can establish bases in order to pursue these radicals without having to ask permission of these double talking nations.
IRAQ is Important! 
This is our Base in the Middle East! (THAT SAID, ACCEPT IT AND EMBRACE IT) 
The mission is to protect the oil interests of the world from greedy and uncivilized characters that have a religious agenda until we can totally remove ourselves from our oil needs which may be decades away. But staying there will insure us of not being held hostage by these radical nations. Democrats and Liberals, Dont get it!. It is not in anyones best interest for us to leave Iraq except our enemies. This is far from a perfect world, but we need realistic leaders who understand the big picture, and not the delusional fairies with their short term political agendas trashing the progress and achievements that are necessary in order for this counter attack to work in removing these cancer cells once and for all.
The establishment of these bases will offer us a protected platform to lauch missions against those who defy the UN Resolutions and seek to impose their religious or radical ideology on the rest of the world. If we move out, we lose this ground that our troops put their lives at risk, for which many have sacrificed their lives and limbs for, so the democrats could win a political victory. They are heartless and aloof toward our military and if I needed to assemble a winning team to achieve a goal they would be the last ones picked. We need winners and we need strong leaders that are aware of this confrontation and want to complete the missions. 
When Bush declared "Mission Accomplished", Military Leaders knew that this was just one mission in a host of missions necessary to pursue our strategic counter attack against radical militants in that region. Democrats are using this "Mission Accomplished" statement out of context as a platform to run on. That is what they do, they can twist verbage better than republicans can. They always forget to mention the other words that used to place that statement in the right context, words like major military goals have been reached toward Iraq. That one particular mission was to achieve the destruction of the Hussein's national defense and render it in-operatable which it did achieve and that particular mission was accomplished. So Democrats give up on using this as a platform to launch your campaign, editing the president's statement and using it out of context is not a political tool to be used in your pathetic attempt at denegrate the republicans, our troops, and the strategic counter attack itself.
Iran's present leadership, not the country itself, is a serious threat in that part of the world and must be curbed before they too gather the will and power to inflict it upon that region and its neighbors. Remove its leader and his supporters and Iran may become neutral again. This will put Syria in its place because they will lose support from their big brother in the region forcing them to stand down. Peace can be achieved by removing the Iranian radical leader and his supporters. Let the people of Iran take over that country and let capitalism and democracy germinate. 
We dont want to declare WAR on Iran, we just need to overthrow its dangerous and insane leadership before he gets nukes. He will use them. Re-instate the Assasination policy in order to prevent and avoid a declared war against a sovereign nation that has been hijacked by its leaders. Persians were at one time conquerers under radical leaders, without these leaders they are peaceful. 
Will a Democrat or Liberal have the Balls to do this, I think not! therefore we need someone who will not hesitate when the time comes to remove him from power. Which will be necessary in the near future. This is a Realism.

It amazes me that these politicians and left wing media celebrities who for the most part are not inherently academic or business minded achievers, For the most part they are educated in liberal arts such as, writing, art, teaching, preaching, acting, media and communications, all who enjoy the benefits of capitalism but dont subscribe or promote it and are for the most part, are non-believers in the capitalistic principles of society that America was founded upon. They are playing monday morning quarterbacks to the real leaders, those who went to military school and learned strategy and military history at the highest level of honor and sacrifice and swore an oath to protect our country against those who want to do it harm. Honor and Honesty above all.
Those Democratics Senators were so full of crap when thanking the general for his duty to country before putting the knife in his back. Reminded me of Caesar being attacked by the senators and them standing around with their bloody knives, with Hillary and company (moveon.org) giving him the unkindest cut of them all. Shame on all of them! 
They all deserve a Timeout! Selfish Agendas along with reckless and ruthless political aspirations are not good traits for a President. Please dont put them in office!
Iraq people now free, need protection against those with guns in order to learn democracy which never existed in that region before so give them a break it will take time and they are not running for office in 2008 so they are in not in any rush unlike the democrats. Democrats are trying to rush them because they need a political victory or republican failure to achieve a miracle by 2008. Democrats know this would take a miracle to acheive and have placed an unrealistic time limit that is not attainable so republicans will run out of time on a time table imposed by the democrats who know that it is unattainable, in order to mislead and hijack confused voters in 2008.

Dont be confused, keep the faith Vote American!  Vote Republican! Vote with the Web Party!
