Whereas Saddam is your run-of-the-mill, evil dictator whose bias is regional and who can be contained so long as he is watched closely. To spend billions chasing down Saddam when OBL/al Qaeda is lose and growing seems the height of idiocy to me. It would be idiocy to sit back while Saddam pursues nukes, longer range missiles and other WMD. Once he gets them, he's a real problem. Better to nip it in the butt sooner rather than later...and you get the bonus of freeing a bunch of people at the same time! You always cast Al Qaeda and Iraq as one or the other. I see no reason to assume that is the case. We already did most of the damage we could via direct military in Afghanistan. The military is free to do other things now (ie Iraq). The fight against Al Qaeda is mostly an undercover affair now. There was a bust of an Al Qaeda cell in some backwater country on the news just this week. I think it's a good bet that the CIA (or some other allied intelligence service) had something to do with it. The fight continues, it's just not as blatant or using the same people. Brian
