My big question that never seems to be answered by anybody in the Bush administration. What does the "war on terrorism" and invading Iraq have to do with one another. Contrary to popular wisdom Iraq and 9-11 had nothing to do with each other. Osama Bin Laden and Saddam represent two opposing ideologies and were definintely not collaborating to attack the US. That was Al Queada's agenda not Saddam's. Bin Laden is a fanatical religious zealot and Saddam is a secular dictator. Totally different people with different agendas. Now that we have attacked Iraq and created chaos terrorists are flocking to the country to kill Americans. If we were serious about fighting the war on terrorism we would have focused on Afghanistan and Al queda.
So why did we attack Iraq? Now they say it was just to get rid of a brutal dictator. Is that worth 700 American lives? There are a lot of brutal dictators in the world. Should our country's sons and daughters die liberating these countries too? Now that we are in Iraq we have no choice but to stay, but don't be naieve enough to believe that STARTING that war was part of the war on terror. If we decided to attack Mexico tommorrow I'm sure that terrorists from around the world would head to Mexico to kill American soldiers. That does not mean Mexico is a terrorist country.
