Kumar,

When India is attacked by terrorists they strike back.
When the UK was attacked by the IRA, they struck back.
When Israel is attacked by terrorists they strike back.
When the US is attacked we strike back. What's the diff??

Neither the Indians, English, Israeli's or Americans are wrong to avenge the murderous acts against their civilian populations.

As far as evidence between Iraq and antiUS terror activity, it is widely reported that Iraq attempted to asassinate a former US president, there are strong links between Iraq and WTC attack I, and no one can deny that Iraq has links to terror organizations associated with the Israeli / Palestinian conflict and that those groups have strong links with Al Quida.

As for Iraqi desire or lack thereof for democracy, time will tell. I imagine that it was argued that Germany or Japan was not ready for democracy at the end of WWII.

I support aggressive intervention in Iraq. I do not think we can afford to be Chamberlain-like with the weapons available to despots these days.
