re:Thanks to the misguided efforts of GW in Iraq Bushes efforts in Iraq were designed to avert or delay "the second shoe from dropping" as long as possible. Honestly now, which countries in the ME would have the best chance to supply terrorists with a WMD to bring to the USA. A short list would be Iraq, Iran or Libya. Due to Bushes courageous decision we now have only Iran to deal with and they have invited UN inspectors and are making the right moves. First, WMDs can be bought on the black market. They do not have to be bought through gov'ts. Secondly, one of the biggest suppliers of WMDs in recent years has been our ally, Pakistan..........and they sell to anyone and everyone. Thirdly, the greater danger and the perpetrator of both bombings of the WTC was not a rogue nation but terrorist cells.......specifically, al Qaeda terrorist cells. Therefore, how anyone can conclude that Bush has protected us from further destruction or even delayed the inevitable is beyond me. Bush has done nothing but aggravate the situation in much the way of the Africanized beehive that I mentioned in a post to Harry. It may not happen next year or the year after but it will happen and it will not be nice. I don't doubt another 9/11 is coming and Bushes Iraq efforts may have only delayed the eventual attack, but we need that time to prepare - look at the fiasco Home Land Security is, it may take longer than we have to get that mess worked out. I just hope the Homeland folks look for WMD in this country, why bring it here if you can buy it locally. Its been two years and Homeland still can't get it right. Its is disturbing.
