Will the blood shed end?

As many of you know, the death toll of the US military has gone above and beyond 4000 deaths. Five years later, after a war we thought would only take a couple weeks, over 4200 of our people are dead. With a president who is so ignorant and blind to his people, and a vice president who probably doesnt give a rats ass, when will this blood shed end without whiplash to come and snap back? I am sure many of you realize that if we pull out, there is a strong chance they will bring the war to us. Which would you prefer, a war on their soil or a war on ours? I also know many of you are saying "we dont want a war at all" but at the moment, we are fighting and we have to stay over there. Bush says we are fighting against terrorism, but there will always be terrorism. All we are doing now is pissing off our allies as well as the people who want to kill us. With time, unless we can get a president that can make amends with countries, we will be the country that everyone else hates as opposed to, say, north korea. Lets all hope we can end this bloodshed without reprocussions for our actions.
