Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "I don't think Saddam was part of 9/11. But he sure was supporting terrorism." And now that Saddam is gone, Israel no longer has suicide bombers, LOL.

That is, they thought that if they removed the money behind terrorism, they would eliminate terrorism. A lot of Americans think the same way.

But here it is, one year after the Iraq invasion, more than 3 years after the WTC attacks, and still Israel has a terror problem. -- Carl
