lorne..."there is nothing new now..maybe WEAPONS and the ability of ONE single crazed islamic to murder MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE AT ONE TIME"

I think you summed up the REASON we need to avoid making blunders like we did in Iraq in that one phrase. This isn't 1400 years ago or even 40 years ago.

Today, just ONE person with one vial of a biological weapon
could wipe out half our country. ONE person with a small nuclear device could wipe out 500,000.

I think 9/11, Madrid and those Middle Class Muslim men in London proved that just fighting them over THERE isn't necessarily going to keep us safe over HERE.

Our screwup in Iraq hasn't hurt the Fundamentalists in the Middle East. It's strengthened them. They've gained power in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Indonesia and many other countries.

Wiser conservatives than you and George Bush know that you don't fight a beehive by hitting it with a sledge hammer.
