"Bought any duct tape lately?" RR, if I need duct tape where I live........... we're all in deep poo poo :-( The bottom line to the terror threat is that we are dealing with obsessed fanatics who have absolutely no concern for human life..... even their own. This is hate taken to its' extreme. No matter what the US does (attack Iraq or not) there are going to be more attacks on US soil. Although we've had success in many ways against Al Qaeda, there was no way we were going to rout them out totally as they are not a sovereign state with clearly defined borders. Anyone who thinks we could just go in Afghanistan & mop them all up in one military action is kidding themselves........ or they really are more interested in political agendas than reality. Al Qaeda was spread globally in like 70 countries on 9/11/01. And Al Qaeda isn't the only real terrorist threat. Winning the war on terrorism won't be easy & the US will likely see more than one more catastrophic terrorist attack before it is over. That's the price we will pay for being a free & open society. And all that BS about focusing on Iraq instead of on Al Qaeda is bunk. I believe the President when he says we are capable of doing both at the same time. Besides, states that sponsor terrorism are as big a threat as terrorist groups. Terror groups can't exist if there is no safe haven. They can't be effective if their access to WMD is eliminated. More importantly though, the US needs to make it clear to all nations that we will come after you if you harbor terrorists, sponsor terrorists &/or are creators/purveyors of WMD. There can be no safe haven anywhere for terrorists or terrorism. Perhaps making an example of Saddam will be a powerful way to make our point to terrorists & terrorist states throughout the globe.
