just read that thread. I see that a certain demidog is posting there. Be advised, he is one of the most irrational, far left libertines on FR. Note the arrogance with which he dismisses our efforts against Saddam Hussein. The sad thing is, he doesn't seem to understand how far LEFT-WING he really is.

I notice that you don't have the balls to flag me. I opposed Clinton's foreign policy as well. If I was a leftist I would defend Clinton. I don't. At any rate, this isn't about left and right. If Iraq had committed an act of War against the US, I would be in support of action against the nation. They haven't. And so I don't.

If you start going down the "pre-emptive" road, at what point is it justified for a nation to attack us "pre-emptively?"

"at what point is it justified for a nation to attack us "pre-emptively?"'

I know it wasn't publicized very much, but we've already been attacked!
We were attacked by the nation of Islam.
I'm sorry you missed that event.
There may be some obscure news articles which can give you the details.

Bush Doctrine states that we will go after terrorists and those that help/aid/harbor them. Saddam has helped/aided/harbored terrorists. We want to prevent him from giving WMD to terrorist groups that have trained in Iraq and that Saddam has financially supported.

So its only preemptive in terms of who shot first. Iraq is in violation of the Bush Doctrine and will be dealt with accordingly.
