"So dad, why are we at war anyways?"
Oddly enough.. I don't know how to answer the question....A straight, concise, diffinitive answer that he will understand..
Basically because they attacked us first, and now we are trying to put an end to terrorism.

You tell him because they feel that we are the bad guy, and they came over and killed people. And took down the Twin Towers.

Good question...
...I used to think we are at war with those who state that our, the United States of America's, existence is the root of all evil and should be destroyed and we're simply trying to kill our enemy before he kills us.
The way W has gone about this doesn't jive with that, so, it's a good question. A damn good one.

I would say "Look over there! Is that Clinton Portis?" then hope he forgot the question.

Nope...
...SUV's grew into a leading vehicle choice long before we went to war this time.

Methodically disorganized
Because Hussein did some pretty bad things over many years, but we hoped that the international coalition called the U.N. could handle him. Since they couldn't, we did what we felt was right.
The moral: pick your friends carefully because those people may not stay behind you when it counts.
