Ted, The war in Iraq has made it easier for Muslims to support OBL. And I think its a mistake not to care about that issue.

You'll agree that the best way to stamp out terrorism is by bringing peace and prosperity to the Middle East? Taking out Saddam was a big step toward that.

First of all, I don't believe Bush has brought peace and prosperity to the Middle East. There is not one iota of evidence that that premise is true or is about to come true.

Secondly, I believe if WE have a problem with terrorism that WE need to go after the terrorists and not try to redesign countries into our own image in the hope of eliminating terrorism. And the reason I say that is because it won't work.......at least it won't work like we think it will work.

Already the Iraqis have begun to resent us. Our approach to the Iraqis swings back and forth between forcefully paternal to militant occupier. A disaster could very well be in the making. We are spending billions and billions for questionable results and for results that may not be our goal. This experiment is very risky and I don't believe worth the effort and cost. In the meantime, al Qaeda continues to strengthen while we remain preoccupied and bogged down.
