Wayne, i think you are missing the big picture here. The US/GB axis of greed has meddled in the ME in a massive way since WWII. The fruits of that meddling are coming home to roost. You think 3,000 dead in the WTC is a legitimate concern? Iraqi civilians are dying beyond that rate every MONTH! We kill more than that every MONTH via drunk driving at home. What about cigarettes? C'mon! The invasion of Iraq was discussed ad nauseum on SI prior to the invasion and many of us could see Viet Nam Part 2 as clear as day...and used those exact words to describe it that way. Now here we are in VN Part 2 and the sequel is way worse than the original. Bottom line, 3,000 dead is not a reason to invade an innocent bystander country. Bush knew that and lied. The media is/was engaged in the cover up. neither the Reps nor the Dems have the balls to face up to their past lies and their current lies are worse yet.

>>If you don't think they had legitimate concerns, then you and I are in the same place as I am with KT. We can't even discuss it. I think it's obvious they had legitimate concerns. The debate is about the risks and rewards of action/inaction given the legitimate concerns before 9/11 that were heightened afterwards.<< i should have said, "they don't have to either or." yes, they had legitimate concerns. if my house is robbed, i have a legitimate concern that one of my neighbors stole my stuff, too. that doesn't mean i ransack their homes based on "legitimate concerns." one doesn't go to war with "legitimate concerns." i think that's reckless behavior. look, this administration knew saddam had NOTHING to do with 9/11, yet they KNEW they needed to manipulate people into associating the two in order to lie or ineptly execute their plan. that's why they often mentioned saddam and 9/11 together, while never directly saying he was responsible. that was a well though out tactic that worked on a public that is unable to think critically. some 25% of americans still think saddam was in on the 9/11 plot - all b/c of this propaganda tactic and failing to to make the truth clear. when people don't want to make the TRUTH clear, watch your back. when they actively set out mislead, never turn your back. the busheviks are corrupt to the core - of that there is no doubt. they will lie, cheat and steal in order to execute their selfish agenda, both at home and around the world.
