You may say it is for nothing, 3000 dead is not "nothing" and if you want to play the game that the Iraq war has no connection to terror. go ahead.
It has been proved that there were terrorists in Iraq prior to 9/11 and after. no they may not have had any hand in 9/11, but what else might they have been planning. I think it is quite arrogant of you to judge that Bush got us into this war for nothing. I think that the Iraqi people would disagree with you. at least 300,000 that can be accounted for Murdered by Saddam's regime. at least 12 sarin gas shells found (wow WMDS! who would have thought.)
The concept that has to be understood and Mr. Cavuto I believe is trying to get across is this is not a war of convince, for oil, or for dominance. It is a war to protect civilization. If these terrorist were left alone and America left the middle east. I would be only a matter of a few years before the Madras started pumping out armys to attack the US on our soil. These people want us dead because we live freely and as we choose not under a religious theocracy. If you still think the war was for nothing I feel sorry for you that you see life in that narrow of a scope.
We are confronted by a mental aberration masquerading as a religion. It is unique among mental disorders in that it is contagious, and extremely virulent.
It overtook and consumed Europe for a protracted period of time, relatively recently, in the grand scheme of things.
Its goal is world conquest. It will settle for nothing less.
This is not about Israel, or "Palestine" (a "land" that was never a nation at any point in history), or oil, or "democracy", or anything else, other than the total "submission" (that word is the English translation of the Arabic word "Islam") of the world.
When you are faced with an intractable foe, devoted to your destruction, you have two ... no, you have three options.
You can contain him. Good luck trying.
You can destroy him. But not if you don't have the stomach for it!
You can let him overtake you, and destroy you.
It is a very sobering moment when that realization sinks in.
I am obviously not optimistic about the future of civilization.
