It is true that I partially supported it when it was sold as a necessity based on intelligence. That is no longer the case. Iraq is now sold as a utopian fantasy - one which, if history holds true, will NEVER happen and one which we have no right to ask anyone to pursue. I'm a firm believer that if you believe in something you personally fight for it, and if you're not personally fighting for it, then there's a good reason for it; usually only one or 2 possibilities. As for Afghanistan (and possibly Pakistan), their government institutionally supported the Taliban AND strategically was low risk. Iraq was a massive strategic risk and neither attacked us nor supported those who did. Further, Iraq was strategically useful against another local foe, Iran. In short, there's really no mystery on who attacked us on 9/11 it wasn't Iraq. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:258760 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
