we can’t GET OUT of terrorism.

I agree.

But we COULD have taken the Willie Sutton approach and gone to where the terrorists ARE, instead of creating a new, huge nest of them.

Bin Laden smiles and recruits.

The preemptive invasion of Iraq had NOTHING to do with going after the enemy!

The very term WOT is a repugnant, open-ended piece of newspeak which opened the door to perpetual wars of ours ruler's choosing.

Iconoclast,

Please understand, I respect your libertarian views, as often expressed by Pat.

However, I respectfully disagree with each and every point in your argument, other than that there were ancillary reasons to go into Iraq beyond terrorism.

However, your post has too many points to respond to in one reply, and it would be a disservice to your arguments to try.

If you wish to take one point at a time, and expound on that one point, I will gladly give you an alternative view point.

Regards
