Were you hibernating during September of 2001?
The subject, here, was Iraq--a contrived nation in the Near East. What has that got to do with International outlaws attacking us from within? The mad notion that we can change other peoples' native cultures can only help recruit more international outlaws. It is obviously counter-productive.
The most effective way to deal with international brigandry, is by encouraging Nations to crack down on those who seek to attack other peoples' cultures--whether they like those cultures or not. May I recommend that you study traditional American Foreign policy, before you post on questions of foreign policy.
