Concentrate on the first 9/11, which had nothing to do with Iraq. What makes you think an invasion of Iraq will have any bearing on stopping a new 9/11 if it is carried out by people who are not Iraqis and who have no connection to Iraq? Though granted, NOW there could be Iraqis who want to blow us up too. So, even though we have increased our security measures, I would think there are probably more people who have a desire to harm us now, than did before. How will you feel if there is another 9/11 and it is directly tied to our invasion of Iraq? It's silly to confuse 9/11 and Iraq, really. The one had nothing to do with the other- although I will grant you, the propaganda for the war did manage to conflate the two issues nicely in many minds- but it's waring off for most people.

"You know all the answers. " Nope, just the right questions Karen. It would do you good to stop drinking the Kool Aid unclemike is feeding you and that is blinding you from the truth. Do we have to have 54,000 deaths again as in Uncles war before we recognize obvious facts? Moderates and true conservatives cant afford to cede this ground to the Michael Moore left. Thats what folks like Hagel and Murtha are really saying. Lets do what the iraqis are now asking us to do--set a timetable that gets our troops out of danger by midyear and out of most of iraq by end of year according to the wishes of the new post-december iraqi govt. mike
