1) "they've spread out to more countries" - yah, Afghanistan isn't so safe anymore.

2) What is your proposal re. Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been growing opium for thousands of years.

3) They do intend to pull troops out of Iraq over time as we do. Though it is your supposition that Afghanistan is a driving reason.

4) The movement to establish by violence a radical theocratic caliphate over first the Muslim, then the whole world.

5) It's ridiculous to assert that Saddam being caught and Kaddafi caving in and allowing the US to remove his WMD materiale to TN for destruction is unrelated. Especially since he has said different.

6) No it isn't. Although much of the leftwing is enamored of forces which are hostile to the US - like Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, and Ramsey Clark, for example.

8) The Clinton's supported the war.

"Saddam accounted for his weapons by letting the inspectors destroy them...in the 1990s." If that were true, sanctions would have been lifted in the 1990's. But it isn't true.

"Bush Sr. saw TANKS on the border and then said the US wouldn't get involved in arab-to-arab conflicts. " Actually Saddam lied to Bush's representative. That has been demonstrated on this thread years ago.

"Then you agree that Bush Sr. is a war criminal and should be in the dock with Saddam during his trial in Baghdad. He is just as responsible as Saddam for the Shiite rebellion and all those mass graves. He encouraged them to rebel, he allowed Saddam his weapons and then he stood by and did nothing."

His administration made a grave mistake - they were too tied to the UN.
