allying themselves with the terrorist group which murdered thousands of our citizens Got proof? And what is your definition of "allying themselves with"? Do you need to be reminded that 9/11 crazies were Saudis, and if you do remember, then why do you think Saudi Arabia is not the country you are raging to attack now? Could that be the media that was successful in diverting attention towards Baghdad? How about for refusing to turn over the leadership responsible for the attack on our country Huh? Are you under the impression that Iraq could "turn over" Al-Qaeda to the US even if they want to? That is hilarious <g> You seem to have a problem with our defending ourselves under any circumstances Absolutely not. However, I do not see how invading Iraq is helping the US become a safer place. 1) Even if Iraq does have WMDs, their range cannot possibly reach US territory 2) Invading Iraq and killing thousands of civilians there just like in Afghanistan will make it much easier for extremist groups like Al-Qaeda to recruit fresh meat. And your idea of compassion seems to involve defending tyrants like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Ladin and Mullah Omar. Got quotes? Defend your view that I defends Saddam, Bin Ladin, or Mullah Omar with quotes from my past posts, please. If you read my post again, you will see I am talking about the people of Iraq, not some Saudi rich-kid turned terrorist. I don't think you have the moral standing to be preaching to America. Well, that's just your opinion. A strange one at that, as you cannot possibly have an opinion on my "moral standing". Did you catch me stealing or lying? Or being promiscuous? On which grounds are you accusing me of being of low "moral standing"? PS this is the cleaned up version. So? Do you expect applause that you self-censored the more accusatory bits?
