<The US was the country who was attacked> Spare me the empty rhetoric. Iraq did not deploy 150,000 troops, a large navy and airforce and kill tens fo thousands of Americans. Iraq was irrelevant to anything like an effective response to terrorism. As for your comment on my need to "grow up" -- stick it up yours you overblown dipshit. You can uncritically back a country that is self-destructing and taking the rest of the world with it. There is nobody who can stop you if that is what you want to do. Or you can use whatever litle you have for a brain and stop making excuses to send fine young Americans to their death to defend a two-bit politician who lacked the courage to fight for his country in war when it was his turn.
