I'd say that this is a pretty strong indication that Al Qaeda is still alive and healthy. Bush's invasion of Iraq was a waste of lives, time and money, and set back progress in the more important war on terror. -- Carl Hmmmmm... I don't suppose this use of the term "war" means you're ready to unleash The 5% Solution? Can I assume the "war" of which you speak is more or less a reasoned counter-terrorist surgical striking kind of response? 0\|0

*You will find that the delay between the two dates is 912 days, or 911 days and some hours, if you take into account the time difference.* I wish they wouldn't do this kind of thing. It just gives the Harrisites more ammo for Fantasy Ideology theory of performance art. 0\|0

On the other hand, surrounding Iraq for decades, starving children and watching while thousands upon thousands of people were tortured and killed, while funnelling money into corrupt French banks and greedy U.N. politicians would have guaranteed no terrorist bombings around the world? One significant element toward ending the tryanny of terrorism was the removal of Saddam and his henchmen from power. Obviously, we need to do much more. Lastly, using your one point data analysis must therefore mean the policy has been a success in America, since we haven't suffered another attack since 9/11. President Bush is entrusted with the security of America not the rest of the world. Perhaps Spain and the rest of Europe will now take the threat as seriously as America and Britain have?
