The ONLY way to ensure that no such outrages, or worse, occur again is to systematically destroy any individual, group, or nation that was complicit in them. This includes Iraq, whose dictator publicly praised the terrorists responsible for 9-11. Those who don't think he was involved are in serious need of some streetsmarts and a reality check.
"I do think we'd be much safer IF WE DIDN'T GO TO WAR because of the escalation potential to WWIII"
See one of my previous posts. We ARE ALREADY AT WAR! It's been "game on" now for over a year, or didn't you notice? And please, don't bust me up with the "WWIII" rhetoric. The Soviet Union no longer exists, and THAT boogyman's been dead for 12 years.
And I did not tell you to "shut up". I said that there are three options: help out, stay out of the way, or help the Bad Guys. Sorry, but no middle ground exists. The fact is that the naysaying, the pacifism, the continual demands for evidence (already provided, more than enough) have the effect, intended or not of helping the enemy. Do you think they do not?
I guess it's okay, though. They didn't attack YOUR town, so why worry? Man, do you REALLY not see this?
Before any more damage is done, I say we take note of them, but refuse to respond to them.
Long Cut, he's already repeated Saddam's position of "Bush just wants to attack Iraq because he wants the oil."
I think we can tell where joeyman is coming from - and it's not OUR side.
