Before the war I said we were not going to Iraq for WMDs but to create a western looking country in the heart of the Islamic world that would be a beacon of Freedom to the rest of the region and would be a base against terrorism. Many Freepers said I was full of it and that the war was about the "threat" from WMDs. Of course that was false as even I knew then - with zero access to privaleged intel or inside info. But many people whose kid is dead or without an arm or leg or eye because of Iraq did believe they were going there because of WMDs and a potential threat. What do you say to them? Don't care?

I for the most part agree with your take on the real reason for going into Iraq. That said, I believed that WMD would be found and I do not believe that the WMD angle was made up.

Once again, the majority of Americans and the damn media, focus on 9-11 as the beginning of our terrorism problem. For nearly 30 years prior to 9-11, nearly 1,000 American soldiers and civilians were murdered by the Islamic nutsos. I for one am glad that we finally had an administration willing to take the fight to the enemy. God Bless our soldiers.
