Too bad they were not in the twin towers as they fell.
Too bad they were not in the Murrah building in Oklahoma
city as it was destroyed.
Too bad they were not on flight 800 as it was shot out from
the sky.
If Bush wants to make a case for war...then he
should.......
Tell the truth about the Clinton administration's coverup
of OKC and flight 800.
Tell the people that Islam is a growing problem and must be
dealt with. Stop calling it a religeon of peace.
And what does all of this have to do with Iraq?

I doubt you really want to have this brought to your attention.... since you probably already know it, but here goes.
Geopolitical boundaries are almost meaningless in the Middle East Islamic countries. In vast trackless deserts there are no yellow painted lines with billboards welcoming you to East Overshoe County, the Smallmouth Bass Capitol of Iowa. The concept of country was imposed on the ME by the Brits; Balfour and that crowd.
To the nomadic-heritage people of the ME, tribal loyalty and loyalty to their faith and its sub-sets is all-important.
Saddam cares not for international borders, nor does he want conventional confrontation with the West. As long as he continues to thumb his nose at the West, and channel $ to known terrorists, he is a threat to us.
It is not 2002. It is 1938 all over again. Saddam's activities in attacking neighbors, gassing a religious minority and developing enhanced weapons are all too familiar to those who watched the other West appease Hitler at every turn.
It's simple. Kill him now. Or hope we can kill him later.... as he is killing us.
It's not nice.... but it is reality.

You said ...."And what does all of this have to do with Iraq?
I say......Iraq was involved in all of those attacks.
Because Sadam was pulverized in Desert Storm, He supported and financed the 800 shootdown, OKC bombing, and all the other attacks I mentioned.
Because the Clinton Government lied to US, the government could not come out and say that these were Iraqi backed attacks. To this day, the government will not admit that these were terrorist attacks.
The Clinton government did not want to do anything about terrorism because this would have shown he did not know what to do about it.
