I fear Al Qaeda MUCH MORE than Saddam...Bin Laden & Co. will only get stronger and strike more effectively if we invade Iraq...He wants us to get distracted.

It's not a distraction -- the two are working together now. Remember, this is the Mideast, scott, "my enemy's enemy is my friend." Saddam is in a much better position to get nukes than Al Qaeda is, and he lives for revenge. You are just seeing Al Qaeda as The Menace because they achieved a successful strike. But, admit it, before 9/11 you never considered them a menace. The true measure of a menace is not who has struck, but who will strike. Look carefully and see who the current menaces are...
