Well, I do not think it was a shoot first and ask questions later action. There is overwhelming evidence, and we gave Afghanistan plenty of chance to turn over the terrorists.

But anyway, I apologize for calling you scum on that point. You made a post that warranted it, but I accept this post of yours as a retraction and clarification.

As for what to do now, you are absolutely right, it is time to get serious. But not about Enron. Lets put the crooks on criminal trial already. Pass an economic stimulus package. And deal with the enemies of democracy. Who the heck cares is there is a deficit in 20 years, if this isn't a country?

It is not the administration that has diverted attention from the war.

Yes you are being lied to, but that doesn't excuse you for repeating the lies. We do not grow the weeds.

There can be no doubt that al qaeda is still a threat, and we must hunt them down.

But, where else do these weeds grow, and who is growing them? These are important questions.

Can there be any doubt, that the weeds are of Middle Eastern origin? Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi, the Palestinians.

An excellent essay called "How the Left Undermined America's Security" dispels the myth that terrorism is a result of social conditions whose primary author is the US.

You are right, analyzing the root causes of terrorism is important. Poverty certainly has some responsibility. But, not as much as Saddam.
