<<< Now suppose Al Qaeda manages another one of their patented coordinated attacks and sets off a dirty bomb in New York, Washington, and Chicago at once.>>> According to our insurance companies, this is a near certainty. They don't know when its going to happen or who is likely to do it. Weapons are getting smaller and smaller and the knowledge to build them becomes more common - the threat increases over time. Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars invading Iraq where there was no WMD and when an Iraqi threat was well contained by International Inspectors, we could be spending those dollars more effectively on security. I could understand your POV if you can understand, at least in hindsight, that Iraq had no WMD. If you can not understand that (in hindsight) then we are not even speaking the same language - even though we are using pretty much the same vocabulary set.
