Just as George W. Bush misled the public about the reasons for attacking Iraq, he continues to mislead the public about our reasons for staying there.
One excuse that we hear most frequently is that we need to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.
But look at the news.
In the past few days, we saw reports of two car bombs in London and an SUV explosion at Glasgow Airport in Scotland.
Closer to home, in May we saw the uncovering of a terrorist plot to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
And, of course, there are the over-the-top security rituals that take place at our airports daily.
In other words, the U.S. and our allies already are fighting them at home.
So why again are we in Iraq?
