You should ask someone from Northern Ireland as we (The UK) occupied them for the last 400 years. They felt so badly about it they became terrorists whereas they called themselve freedom fighters, which they were to a degree because they wanted there freedom. Fair enough to be honest. I'd have kicked up if some nation of self righteous gits invaded me and told me how to live.

Occupation is also what Saddam did in Kawait in 1991 and tried to do to Iran before that. These terrorists are just a different kind of army clustered in Cells and with a much less formal means of communications than a normal army...are they out there even now, occupying our citys and towns right here in the US of A? I believe so, and I worry. We can't see them, they're hard to find and because we don't believe and act like they do they consider us the great Satan. Their goal is to destroy us and everything we represent to them. They'll beat us to our knees until we succumb to their beliefs.

Dude, your paranoid. Don't be the product of fox news, be objective about it. Im not going to reiterate myself, please read my post on this thread:

Please don't compare WW2 to anything thats gone on recently. It was totally different.
We didn't occupy, we rebuilt two nations we destroyed (rightly or wrongly so) and it was also political as we didn't want the USSR getting there fingers in any more pies
. The picture is allot bigger than it seems.
Also Iraq has nothing to do with terrorists before the US went there. It's been proved beyond doubt Al Queda and Saddam didn't get along. Even the US government has admitted terrorism is up, not down after Iraq. Neither did the US government goto Iraq to stop terrorists, there official line was to stop WMD's being made or used (which Saddam didn't have any way).
Please read up about Iran and Iraq. They had a war, they hated each other. It wasn't one sided, I don't know where you got that from.
