I think you will be getting more upset when we see Saudi sending in undercover folks to find Saddam supporters and Al Q. this bombing is going to unify Saudi into better cooperation with U.S.

I simply want to know the basis for the decision to invade a country, overthrow its government and kill a lot of people, not to mention sacrificing the lives of many Americans and leading us into a quagmire. Every Binding UNSC resolution that was passed regarding Iraq since the day they invaded Kuwait, overthrow it's government, and killed a lot of people (and tortured quite a few more). The same kind of binding resolutions that gave us the authority to invade Iraq during Desert Storm in order to evict the Iraqis from Kuwait. The very same resolutions that signified the "cease-fire" agreement, contingent upon Iraq fully complying with disarmament and accountability of its WMD and missile programs. But I'm sure you were like many other peaceniks I knew at the time who were just as dead set against that war as they are this one.. In fact, until you actually suffer the loss of a friend or family member due to an attack by a terrorist, you'll probably never be in favor of war.. But some of the rest of us have a different perspective, knew, or have friends who knew, victims of 9/11.. And it those people who seem to recognize that there has to be a major drive to undermine and root out the sources of terrorism in the region. Hawk
