Just to be clear in reading your post it seems that the following is a generalized list of problems that you perceive arising from the war in Iraq.
The War on Terror has created or increased:
Terrorist around the world (particularly in Iraq)
Fascism in America
Loss of Freedom in America
US ties to Israel
US Imperialism
US Xenophobia
US use of torture

As always you have a right to your opinion and in some ways you can make a very strong argument but it would still be opinion. Many have said that the terrorist hate our freedom but I don’t agree with that statement and don’t think you do either. Terrorist are generally created from people oppressed who either through social engineering, straight brain-washing or religious zeal are offered an outlet for their rage over their situation in life. I notice that you seem to get really upset when America defends itself from terrorist, for disregarding the concept of the correctness of the war, but you never condemn the conditions which created the terrorist. What happened to all that wonderful talk of the duty the rich nations have to protect those who cannot protect themselves? When it comes to taking US money there isn’t a cause too small or a solution too big that the UN won’t stick their hand out to receive donations and in the end nothing will be done. But actually try to solve a problem and feel the wrath of dictators and liberals the world over.

Freedom in America is a very broad subject but I will only touch on two; Personal Freedoms of Citizens and Rights of the POW (excluding torture for now). Despite the constant drumbeat on blogs and in the MSM there is precious little evidence of actual rights being violated. If I’ve missed it I would be the first to admit it. All the talk boils down to the fact that certain actions taken by the administrations spark the imagination of people who distrust the current administration and I would give their ideas more credence if they were as upset when Echelon was developed and the questionable use of confidential files and wire taps were used in Democrat Administrations. The POW are another issue which I do have some sympathy for your position in that I believe there is some gray area which we do need to allow these prisoners rights afforded by the Geneva Convention but not those afforded by the US Constitution. My reasoning is that we declared a War on Terror recognizing the combatants were neither going to be in uniform nor representing a nation and because we know this before hand there should be some latitude allowed. Unfortunately in war there is collateral damage and innocents do suffer and while I have a great deal more faith in the military than you seem to have in treating the prisoners decently and trying to hold only the guilty I am sure there have been mistakes made. But such mistakes, while regrettable, are part of war and hopefully are very few. War is a strategy of numbers and while it may seem cruel a tactic that is working cannot be abandon because an extremely small percentage of people whose innocence is debatable by degrees are detained.

There has been far too much talk lately about fascism in America lately and almost everything I’ve read points specifically to the national identity argument as the best argument. While nationalism can be bad if it is to the point were the people cannot see reality a certain amount of nationalism is required in order for a nation to sustain its existence. In fact, the very fact that we can have a discussion over how much nationalism is too much is a good sign that we haven’t come close the requirement for fascism. Also, it is in human nature to be defensive of ideas they believe to be true and since there are so many people attacking America right now the obvious result is defensive tact of exhibiting national pride. By your very attacks on America you are invoking the nationalism used as evidence against us.

Israel is long and complicated story but I’ll just leave my opinion as being that if we did not supply Israel with an ability to defend them self it would no longer exist. I don’t believe anyone in western civilization wants to see genocide regardless the victim. Israel seems to have mellowed slightly lately and I’m not sure that is in the best interest of our soldiers in Iraq (still a long story).

Imperialism and Xenophobia are other accusations I’ve read a lot lately and they seem to be just personal stereotypes based on members of the administration. I see very little actual proof of either especially considering the current administrations views on immigration and free trade.

Torture is wrong. Terrorism is wrong. I’m glad that I am not the one that has to draw the line between ‘aggressive interrogation techniques’ and torture. Considering what I’ve seen people put themselves through for training, rush week and various initiations I haven’t seen anything I would consider torture reported. However, it is something that needs to be watched closely and in extreme cases some people will have to make extreme decisions and unfortunately they will have live with those decisions for the rest of their lives.

This is too long already but you have stated before that we brought the terrorist to Iraq and I must agree with you on that issue. The war on terror was declared and when the administration lost Afghanistan as a battle ground we turned to the next best alternative and invaded a country that was sponsoring terrorism, was training terrorist and believed to have WMD. Not to mention the people of Iraq were living under the dictatorship of a man who used those WMD against his own countrymen. Honestly, I still have a hard time with putting people in harms way but I do believe that Iraq and the Iraqi people will be better off if we stay until complete stabilization and act as their allies as long as they are willing to recognize our allegiance. In the end I also believe the world and as a result America will be safer and more free but it is likely to get worse before it gets better and the end won’t be soon.

I think you are right, but I'm not sure my opinion is correct...
