Forget the WMD line. Thats the only reason everybody could actually agree on, but that didn't make it the ONLY reason for taking down SH. We needed borders in the war on terror to put extreme pressure on Syria and Iran, especially Iran. We also needed to put an end to the endless no fly zone enforcement and economic embargo enforcement actions.

We might be covering for the Saudis, don't know. Now that they are in the crosshairs of the bombs themselves I think they are finally motivated enough to crack down on the militants and militant teachers. Did you know that the only education the poor get in Muslim countries is religious teachings on the Quran? There is the root of the problem right there. The poor and uneducated with no prospect for a job (what skilled job can you do with only Quran education) are easily manipulated by the evil people in this world.

Indonesia is a mess. They went Muslim in a span of only 200 years. I guarantee we have a fair amount of CIA over there trying to track down terrorists. They found a senior terrorist from the Bali bombins in Thailand recently. They will tracked down, found and brought to justice. The war on terror doesn't involve war as long as the host countries that have terrorists in them cooperate in our hunt for them--then war is averted. Lets hope more countries cooperate. Our national security is at stake.

The Chinese won't help N Korea this time unlike the 1950s.

Difference in what?
