But then again letting others do you thinking for you is easier, you ought to know. > > > Iraq had nothing to do with AQ. > > But they were funding and training terrorists. So did the US, by that logic we should be invading ourselves. Hell if we followed that brilliant piece of thinking, right up there with the Domino Theory and other wonders of intellectual thought by the right wingnuts, we'd be invading 2/3's of all the countries in the world, including the US. > > > If you're thinking that if "we attack them > there, so they won't attack us", that's been shown to be wrong a long > time ago. > > When was the last attack?

Except that the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Omar, has stated more than a few times that the Taliban and Al Queda are one. Moreover the CIA has stated the same more than once in testimony before congress. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:264693 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
