You and I obviously have different points of view on this.

That's true!

9/11 was about taking terrorism seriously. Islamic fundamentalists hate us, but they can hate all they want as long as they don't hurt us like they did before. I'm all for trying to fix that problem too, but my first priority is to keep WMDs out of the hands of these people that hate us.

Don't you think it is better to eliminate the source of hate and thereby eliminate the problem, than to try to remove the guns from everyone that hates you? The first option solves the problem of people wanting to shoot you, the second option just makes it harder for them to shoot you.

Do you think anyone will be able to hijack a plane and fly it into a building again? No, nobody will take that now. They've played that card.

Yeah, and that has nothing to do with whether Iraq or Saudi was a more appropriate 2nd response to 9/11

If they could get some bio-weapons though, they'd use that in a heartbeat.

Iraq was the most promising source for those weapons, and the justification for regime change already existed there. SA has no WMD programs for us to worry about, and the regime change justification isn't there.

Fair enough. that Iraq has limited potential in the near term to make and deliver WMD to the US, what about the Saudi anti-western, Islamic fundamentalist philosophy promoters?

Nothing?
