And what, exactly, was 9/11

It was not an attack by Iraq. The military objective in Iraq has in no way been clear.

except a bloody and barbaric signal that Islamic militants have the United States squarely in their sights?

If you want to defeat the Islamic Militants...take away their strengths. To date we have only made them stronger....we are going in the wrong direction. We are using the wrong weapons.

Would we be in their sights if we were not on their lands? Why are we on their lands?? Could it be for the oil??

There are other sources of energy. Why haven't we engaged our full energies towards the development of alternate sources? How many solar cells does $100 billion buy? If you invest $100 billion in Fuel cells how much energy would you save? Is it politically easier to go to war with our youth than make the hard energy choices? What would be the political consequences to Bush if he were to utter the word conserve or the words alternate energy?
