No, I blame one man and his administration for not looking at all the factors.
The U.N. said there was no evidence of WMDs The IAEA said there was no evidence of WMDs. There has never been evidence linking Iraq to Al Qaeda. Bin Laden referred to Sadam as an infidel. We had no realistic goals or exit strategies going into Iraq and that has caused us to lose support for the bigger goal of our "War on Terrorism". We have spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives for what? A regime change? To oust Sadam and his cronies? How has this eliminated terrorism? Where has this eliminated terrorism? Are the people of Iraq really any better of today? I would like to think so but I'm not so sure. Only time will tell. It was a mistake. However, had Bush and his cronies not been so eager to demonstrate our resolve and strength it wouldn't have happened. We should have stayed the course in the fight against terrorism and in the hunt for Bin Laden. We essentially opened up a second front that has distracted from our primary goal. In the process we have created more support for terrorism by people who previously couldn't careless. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] So your like those who would rather blame one man for everything than look at all the factors. America was given intelligence from Iraqi exiles about WMDs and terrorist links. We have found WMD making equipment and terrorist links but not actual WMDs. Yes, I think going into Iraq was a bad idea, but for someone to claim it was all Bush's fault is blinding himself to an entire world out there. As for the Muslim world, they already hated us for a long time. Saying that it's Bush's fault that they hate us is to ignore the deals we've had in place with Saudi Arabia for decades as well as our support of various countries in the Arab world. The fact that we've been the great Satan to Iraq and the countries they export weapons and terrorists to alone should show you that they've hated us long before there was any Bush in the white house. As for my comparisons, they are all true. The Arab world on the whole, or at least the Arab world of rulers and religious preachers, hates what we have from freedom all the way up and down the ladder. Not any high horse, just simple observation of their own words and actions. But as usual, the question of Iraq is one that was tied up in the UN for ages with passed resolutions and political maneuvering before we went in. Love how people forget that and think we just up and went in without any attempt to talk. I wonder what would have happened if the UN followed their own resolutions and called Iraq to the table for its actions. I wonder if the UN will ever follow its own resolutions of purpose and stop those massacres in places like the Sudan. I wonder if someone will say out loud who is causing those massacres.
