Re: "Bush is a godsend to terrorists"

Hardly.

Re: "They want him re-elected."
NOT

RE: "It sure looks like we did Bin Laden's work for him."

Perhaps, in a small tempporary way.

Re: "Hussein was no threat to us or anyone else."

Starting with his own people, of course he was a threat.

Re: "an admittedly evil person, but one that posed ZERO threat to the US."

Certainy untrue, known presidential assasination plot just for starters, and possible complicity in Anthrax attacks to boot.

RE: "we get rid of a handful of terrorists by blowing up another mosque and how many more terrorists will that create in their place"

getting rid of a militant minority of a radical minority will indeed leave fewer bad guys, and fewer willing to join that minority of a radical minority in Iraq.

Re: "it appears they do not want our help."

Big majority even in Fallujah still wants our help. Iraqi sympathy and Aid to civilian casualties was let through. When we are not attacked, we don't attack back, and this will remain plain to the supportive Majority Iraq-wide.

RE: "They WANT Bush to win."

No way, even if you are otherwise correct. Definitely true were you referring to the majority of Iraqi's.

RE: "waste billions and trillions of dollars we do not have and certainly can not affort."

We have it and can afford it. I think we will have done enough to calm Iraq long before the American death toll in Iraq and Afghanistan combined reaches the total killed on Sept. 11 '01. I could be wrong, but...we'll see and hopefully prevent many 911's we'll never have to witness.

Re: "It is NOT the US's mission in this world to attempt to FORCE a certain government style on another people."

Agreed. Still we can and should put down those who, of their own accord, are headed our way with murderous hearts (and who are minorities in their own countries, even if leaders there at once, like Saddam and the taliban), and we can "FORCE a certain government style" upon minorities in those countries in the process, ONLY the radical minorities need be forced. The rest are lining up to put the old regime down.

RE: "Why should they want our help.
There is more violence, more destruction, and more terrorism there now than before."

Because we do help. The majority in Iraq agrees still and would like Sadir cut out the murderous Japenese hostage-taking crap.

Re: "Bin Laden wants Bush re-elected if he is still alive."

Not. No Way. Bin Laden can't like someone who fights back so hard; he'd rather take an easier path to destroying western culture for good.
