I was for the war in Iraq now I am against it. It is not because we didn’t find weapons on mass destruction. It is not because Saddam Hussein wasn't a threat. Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi received medical treatment in Baghdad before the war. Al Qaeda had camps in the north of Iraq which produced the near catastrophe of the Ricin poisoning of London; which was foiled by intelligence agents of Britain. No, I have switched sides because enough is enough. War needs to stop. One side needs to quit being the aggressor.

Let's win the war on terrorism by refusing to fight it. Instead let's tighten our defenses and curb our aggression internationally. We don't need military bases in Germany. The South Koreans spit at our soldiers while they defend their sovereignty. To hell with them. Let's close all of our military bases abroad and instead focus on our national defense. A strong navy, a strong army on the border, and a liberal immigration policy. This will keep us safe. A strong FBI and a national focus on terrorism at home. These things will keep us safer than a ridiculous notion of changing a millennia of culture in the middle east.

After 911 there was a time for offence. We have broken the back of Al Qaeda and now is the time for defense. Let's stop giving the world a reason to hate us. And let's kill every motherfucker who would do our country harm, but let's do it in a defensive state of mind. Let them come to us. We ARE capable of catching them.
