Over There?

It is often said by the war party that we have to fight the Isamofascists "over there", so we don't have to fight them over here?

So, it has been asked, when were the Iraqi people asked if we could fight our proxy war on their turf? When was it that we received their permission? Or, if they weren't asked, did the Iraqis step forward and say:

We volunteer! We'll take your war! It's the very least we can do!

Were they the lone volunteer demographic? Or were they just the first nation in a long line of peoples volunteering to provide and host our theater for elective war?

Who can answer this question? Who can resolve my bewilderment?
