Even without sharing my belief that Saddam was a sponsor of 9/11, the fact remains that on 9/11 the possibility of WMD terrorism was laid bare for us to deal with. Given that possibility, a hostile but remote threat like Saddam was no longer remote.

Ask yourself this question: What do you think will happen if a nuke goes off in Washington DC, and nobody claims responsibility?

No need to ask myself the question; I've done so many times even before 911. But even with the invasion of Iraq a nuke in our lap still could occur. Don't know if our invasion of Iraq reduced the likelihood (sp?) of it or not, and don't think any one else can say for sure either.

The biggest beneficiaries of this War so far, IMO, are the Iraqis, who got someone else to depose a vicious, vicious dictator for them, and now they have a chance to remake themselves into a decent Society, and God speed to them.
