There was not one Iraqi among that lot and it has been amply proven that Iraq was not aiding or abetting terrorists, not friendly with bin Laden, had destroyed what US-supplied WMD it did have, was complying with UN requirements albeit slowly and grudgingly and not a threat to anyone outside the immediate region. Chomsky is talking about apples and you're talking about oranges friend. What you are saying is comparable to saying, "Mexico has attacked the United States. We need to defend ourselves therefore we shall attack Canada." There is neither rhyme nor reason to that. Being angry is reasonable. Being a tool is not. The majority of those identified as the perpetrators were Saudi's. Everyone in the government knew that and it was widely reported in our own media yet Bush decided to attack the Iraqi's. He used the events of 9/11 as a reason to push his own twisted agenda and he used the American public as tools to further that agenda. I don't know about you friend, but I don't like being used, I don't like seeing US military personnel killed for no good reason and I most definitely do not like being lumped in with those twisted individuals who think it is fine and dandy to go kill innocent people to push a political agenda. What is happening in Iraq has nothing to do with patriotism, justice, right, morality or anything else. It is entirely about money, politics and a spurious religious belief called Christian reconstructionism or dominionism which is neither Christian nor moral despite its name and is fundamental to neocon philosophy. You need to do your homework friend and connect the dots by the numbers. You have bought into a lie. Your name is new to me so I will let you know that I have 8 years in the military and two Nam tours and belong to the VFW as well. This has nothing to do with patriotism it has to do with ethics and morality and the government has come up lacking. We are in the wrong and it is time we got ourselves straight and right. We can only do this if we have the truth and it is available. Your heart may be in the right place but your head is not brother. It is tough to admit that your country is doing something entirely immoral but the truth is the truth. We were intentionally mislead and we need to correct that. Truth and right require that. If we do not then our government and those supporting its actions are no better than those who did the deed on 9/11. I can't believe that is what you want.
