THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN AL QAEDA AND IRAQ
This is a similar argument to the above in that it once again uses al Qaeda as the cudgel to beat back any other conflict. The implication is that if Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 assault (still an "if," by the way) then attacking Iraq makes as much sense as attacking Belize. To the extent this is a sincere argument — it surely isn't most of the time — it represents a profound failure of the imagination.


too bad imagination is such an airy fairy thing, a place where magic can happen.
