Very prescient. I was sitting here thinking about the ramifications of the US invading Iraq because we should have done it after the Gulf War - guess next stop is North Korea, because we should have done things differently there, too. Or maybe we need to go back to Viet Nam and do that right, we certainly bungled that one, too. Eventually we should get around to Cuba, we did that one wrong, too, probably.

Hell, we are the hegemon, let's invade every country we don't like and straighten them all out.

And then I started wishing Gore had won.

Since you don't know me, let me tell you that I spent the entire time frame from Nov. 7, 2000 to December 12, 2000, praying that Bush would win. Ray will back me up on this, we were at each other's throats the whole time and eventually I think we both put each other on ignore. But Bush promised that the US would no longer be the policeman of the world.

From everything so far, Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11. This is bullshit. We're supposed to be going after Al Qaeda and its support system.
