There are terrorists other than Al Qaeda. Iraq openly supported them. But Al Qaeda is the terrorist group that attacked us. Don't you think we should focus on the terrorists that attacked us? We would have to attack Saudi Arabia on that criteria, because most of the terrorist support comes from that country. Not to mention just a few UN resolutions Saddam refused to comply with. We should have continued to bring pressure on Saddam through the UN. Instead we try to make the case for the imminent threat with Powell doing the dog and pony show using the Chalabi "cureball" evidence. The truth is that there was no imminent threat from Iraq. We should be focused on Al Qaeda. And we should have worked our influence in the world through the UN regarding Iraq. We had a strong argument for resumed weapons inspections...and we won that argument...but then we ordered the inspectors out...and the invasion went forward. Orca
