I agree completely... that said, it IS very big and important question... ie. to distinguish whether there is a real terrorist threat to begin with, or if it's a made up tool of the administration.

I've always been a fan of the viewpoint that much of our defense budget has been one big misdirected (towards conventional warfare) waste for decades.

It is also obvious to anyone that the administration put out all sorts of "spin" to get support for the war... remember the use of the "abused and mutilated arab women" issue before Afgan and Iraq... as if there aren't all sorts of worse offenders if the horrific (by some Western understanding) practice of female circumcision was the real issue. I found that particularly blatant and offensive. However the real issue there is being hashed out in Congress now.
