Obviously, you are poorly informed, probably as a result of getting your info from leftist anti America web sites. Terrorist activity was well entrenched in Iraq, and has been since the late 1980's. Just because Leftist MSM chooses not to print the information does not mean it does not exist. Of course they weren't fighting us before we got there, think about the stupidity of your statement for a moment. Saddam's pursuit of WMD was also well documented, what do you think he used to gas tens of thousands of kurds? The UN was supposed to be monitoring stocks of these things that were tagged and counted, where did they go? Terrorism, or more accurately Islam Jihad has been growing and gaining momentum for the past 30 + years, largely ignored by previous Democrat governments, even after 238 marines were killed in Lebanon in the 70's. Saddam and Iraq were and are part of it. You need to open your eyes and understand what's going on in the world. Just because you served in Nam doesn't mean you know everything. Try looking and seeing what's going on around the world. From Sudan Algeria, to the Philippines and Indonesia, Islamic Jihad is everywhere. they are at war with us, whether you want to see it or not. Wars are not won by fighting them defensively. There has never been a war won that way in the history of mankind. If you want to maintain your freedom, you have to go out and fight for it, otherwise you WILL loose it. Has history not taught you anything? or have you even bothered to study it?
We are at war, you either fight for us, or you fight for the enemy. Right now, you are fighting for the enemy by choosing to remain ignorant of the situation in this world, and not understand who/what/where our enemy is.
This might help get you started

AH Nathan Zachary......evidently the 400,000 plus Iraqis found buried in the sand, men, women, children, infants, was not terrorism? Sweetie bumps your head has been where the sun don't shine.
