res- I am most concerned with inspiring a whole new generation of terrorists by our preemptive invasion on a sovereign ME nation

When we end the places of tyranny which inspire and give support to terrorists, their network will be less effective, less able to grow, and less able to recruit a new generation of fanatics. When they are dead, it's even more difficult. The Taliban we killed who supported Osama Bin Laden, won't be threatening America again.

On the other hand, doing the same rehashing containment we've done for 12 years, will guarantee the growth of another generation of terrorists, who will then have an embolden Saddam to give them even more support.

Secretary Powell laid out clearly the link between Iraq and Al Queada. I don't believe he was lying. I believe he is a man of immense integrity and sound judgement. To not believe the link between terrorists and Iraq exists, you have to believe Colin Powell was either duped, a liar, or you simply missed the presentation and are uninformed.
