Carl, I'm sorry....you pontificate, and yet don't really give your reasons, or proof, as John is wont to say. For instance...

(1) Iraq (or Saddam Hussein or the Iraqi Baathist party) is not a threat to the US.
What on earth makes you think this....? Especially when people of both parties think the opposite? Have you proof of your statement? Or is it just your "feeling".... If it is your "feeling" it is certainly OK to state that....Do you have better information than the US intelligence agencies, and that of Great Britian, and most probably Israel as well??

The biggest threat that the US faces is Islamic fundamentalism which is in complete opposal to Saddam Hussein and all he stands for.
How is terror of one sort the opposite of terror of another sort???

(Though even that threat is not a significant one. The USSR, with thousands of megaton nuclear weapons, was a significant threat and we didn't start a war with them.)
Doyou suppose that each the US and the USSR held each other at bay with mutual weapon systems? And the US never has seemed to want additional territory.

And that was just your first paragraph.....

I certainly do state my opinions....but I say they are just that. You state your opinions like they are facts, without proof they are.
