I am sick and tired of everyone linking 9/11 with Iraq. W and his gang have been wanting to take out Iraq since 1998!! Read the letter below.

9/11 was simply an excuse!!
Saddam's weapons of mass destraction are also a bogus excuse - witness that some of the main "evidence" was actually fabricated (so well in fact that it was almost not discovered - hmmm) If the evidence is so strong why did they have to make things up!!?

When W was campaigning to be president he was adamantly against nation building - now all of a sudden he wants to go in and save the Iraqi people. That's is another a bogus excuse. Where was he two years ago!?
You guys complain about peaceniks - but the protests against intervention in Afghanistan were small at best. It's only since this reckless war that people have come out on the street.
All you people that support the would probably jump off of a bridge if W. wanted you to.
The two main reason for this war are:
Distraction from W's failed presidency - the war talk didn't start until October of Last year right before the election. The GOP needs to finish this war in time for the next election cycle - that's why they are so hot to invade now.
Money - It's no coincidence that a huge rebuilding contract was awarded to a company that Cheney is associated with.

Oil companies stand to make a lot of money when they can resell Iraqi oil if they can dictate the terms to a pliable Iraqi government.
