You've been of FreeRepublic a while, so I'm curious as to what prompted your outburst (you're a Brit? was it the recent attacks?), and how you feel about the responses to your question. You haven't said much in response.
I also wonder how you feel about the 'no one ever said Saddam was connected to 9/11' comments. Do you feel that you were told this?
NOT SURPRISED.

My purpose is to stimulate some independent thought among freepers who are too willing to be guided by the administration's propaganda slogans re. the war in Iraq. (I'm a rare bird - a conservative Republican - NOT a Buchananite - who opposed the Iraq invasion from the outset as a diversion from Job 1: capturing and killing Al Quada. It's precisely because I'm NOT a pacifist or appeaser that I wanted us to go with force and fury against the culprits of 9-11, before using 9-11 as an excuse to pursue unrelated agendas - which is what I consider the invasion of Iraq to be. Now, Saddam, Al Quada and its networks having been neglected, on a relative scale, by us, their threat continues and perhaps has grown - that's the message I take from yesterday's bombing). Therefore, it was an appropriate time for some pot-stirring, and that was the point of starting this thread.
