The Golf War? That's why I'm for Fred Couples.
If there were never any troops in Mecca then people shouldn't say there were.
Bin Laden considers many places to be holy and for all we know God may tell him about more later tonight. If the goal is to not offend the likes of him then we should all covert to Islam.
The World War 2 analogy is important because the America First/Coughlinite brand of conservatism that Paul is now carrying the banner for was oppossed to that as well.
In this global society the idea of "here and there" is obsolete. Do you think that Bin Laden would start herding goats if we barricade ourselves within the North American continent?
