:-) (So... in hindsight, Pakistan and or Saudi Arabia might have made far more legitimate targets. At least BOTH had direct involvement with the 9-11 attacks on the US.) My, what a different world that would have been.... And, how IRONIC that the fingerprints on the knife sticking out of our back traced back much more directly to our 'allies', (Pakistan not only creating and propping-up the Taliban, sanctioning al Qaeda, but also wiring $100,000 to Mohammed Atta just a few days before the 9-11 attacks, and Saudi money and extremist W'habbist theology lying under it all... not to mention most of the attackers being Saudi).... What a world.

Personally, I thought that THIS was the jaw-dropping revelation of the week: *Months before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld forbade military strategists from developing plans for securing a post-war Iraq ...In fact, said Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, Rumsfeld said "he would fire the next person" who talked about the need for a post-war plan.*
