NITT,
re: The biggest change in 11 years is 9-11 and what weapons of mass destruction in the wrong hands could do.
Yes, 9/11 changed a lot of perceptions. This one act, one of two foreign terrorist acts on US soil in the last 10 years, with none since, has defined and justified a lot of actions.
The perception is now that if you could imagine something happening, then it will happen. If Iraq could get weapons grade uranium, then they could build a bomb, if they could build a bomb then they could smuggle it into the US, if they smuggled it into the US then they would set it off, regardless of the consequences for their own country. Could that happen, yes. Will it happen, almost certainly not.
On Bush, I think he is out to get Saddam, for a lot of different reasons.
