"But I'm sure you were like many other peaceniks". I find it interesting that you devote so much effort to insist that the United States was acting on behalf of the UN when the UN Security Council openly rejected attempts by the US to get a resolution in support of an invasion. The US invaded Iraq, not the UN. The UN opposed the invasion. As for the rest of what you have to say, you don't know anything about me and have no business characterizing me one way or the other.

<<Cheney Theme of Qaeda Ties to Iraq Bombings Are Questioned by Some By ERIC SCHMITT Published: November 11, 2003 WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 — Vice President Dick Cheney has in recent speeches mentioned the major bombings in Iraq this past summer in the same breath as the deadly strikes in Bali, Casablanca and Riyadh, which authorities say were carried out by Al Qaeda or groups affiliated with it. The clear implication is that militants linked to Al Qaeda were responsible for the Iraq bombings, too. The attacks in Baghdad last month would appear to lend credence to that claim except for this: senior military, intelligence and law enforcement officials say there is no conclusive evidence pointing to a particular group — Al Qaeda or not — as the mastermind behind any of the major attacks in Iraq. "At this point it isn't clear who's responsible for those bombings," a senior American official said. Indicating who is behind the bombings — militants linked to Al Qaeda or homegrown loyalists to Saddam Hussein — is important politically for Mr. Cheney and his boss, President Bush, terrorism experts say. nytimes.com
