" I just can't seem to recall when the Iraqi military, or any agents acting under direction of any Iraqi authority, attacked one of the 50 states or any United States territory. Someone remind me when that took place."

If we're going to be invading another country for that event, then hard, definitive proof is required that this guy was acting under direct orders of Saddam Hussein himself. The proof doesn't rise to that level? No invasion. Plus, I don't remember Bush ever saying that this was a reason. So evidently it isn't the reason.
It would also be would could be considered the most lopsided response to an act of aggression in the history of the world. Other countries have had just as much reason as this to launch strikes against us, however somehow we have permanently hijacked the moral high ground and other countries simply aren't allowed to have greivances against the United States? Get off your horse. The government that has shredded the Constitution over the past 100 years can't be trusted to deal with other countries any more fairly than it has dealt with its own citizens.
