Well, I typed that post too fast and was not clear in what I want to say :

Invading Iraq did not resurect all those killed before. The Last documented atrocity by Sadamm was 12 years ago. These was no need either to invade to stop Sadamm attacking others - no country, not even Kuwait ask US to invade, they all were against it ! So yes, sadamm killed many more twenty years before but that does not justify killing thousands now just to get him to jail. Sadamm was contained, had no WMD whtsoever and no contacts with AQ or other terrorists. The war was completely unneccesary and,IMHO, against US interests. It divertred attention from the real problem - AQ and made things much worse.

Get in touch with reality. Random acts of violence does not stop terrorism. It IS terrorism, and it BREEDS new terrorists. Fighting terrorist must be done with intelligence and well targeted actions, not with excess violence.
Whoever succeeds GWB (now or in 4 more years) already has plenty to worry about. The Iraq situation is not getting much better and Iraq may well become the next Afganisthan; a breeding ground for terrorists.

Maybe I was being a little dramatic as to what we need to do. But I'm sure the intelligence agencies of not only America but Europe have a good idea of where these terrorists are. I'd rather see us use a few MOAB bombs in that no-man's land in Pakistan than see more American soldiers at risk. I know in this election year, Bush would love to have Bin Laden handed to him on a silver platter before the elections. I'd just not have to have so many American lives attached to that platter. I'd rather see a dead Bin Laden than more caskets with American flags draped over them. We're getting enough of them killed in Iraq as it is.

I wonder if we will ever all just get along in life as friends and not enemies? Iraq should join the United States as the 51'st State.

These are not deserted regions Greg. There is several Million people living in those borderlands. Most are hard working people trying their best to make a decent living and who don't give a f. about international politics. You can be sure the people you want to get with your MOABs are the ones most well protected and the Last ones to go

I am glad of the Spanish peoples vote. It will be interesting to see how the Polish react to this.
