Interestingly, you've just listed *many* of my feelings about why I oppose
this war and do not want our military forces in Iraq.
Large crowd opportunities for terrorists: check. War *is* terrorism.
Injury to selves and others: check.
Distraction from issues: check.
Wasting tax payer dollars/pounds/euros: big big check.
Risking repercussions on many levels: understatement of the year.
