Missed the point Ron, possibly deliberately. The "Peace Mongers" as represented seem to have the daft notion that the US has been picked out as enemy of radical Islam because of Iraq, and that if it had never happened all would be rosy in the garden. You are gravely mistaken, the terrorists declared war on you long before the present President of the United States of America declared War on Terror.

By all means pull out of Iraq, pull out of Afghanistan. That will not lessen the threat one iota, it has got nothing whatsoever to do with Iraq or Afghanistan, you are, and always have been, the enemy, long before the attacks of 11th September, 2001 - They were only the first ones on mainland America that actually got through and succeeded, they had been trying with varying degrees of success for more than a decade before that.

Now then Ron, as you were definitely against taking on your enemies in Afghanistan and in Iraq. And as you are a dedicated "Peace Monger" please answer the question:

As the US, who are you going to negotiate your "peace deal" with?

As all such negotiations must involve compromise, unless of course your intent is one of unconditional surrender to the terrorists demands, what are the things that you, as chief negotiator for the "Peace-mongers", will be fully prepared to compromise on?
