The troops in Afghanistan, fighting Al Quiada and taliban, have been avenging 9-11. Iraq wasn't behind 9-11, so the invasion wasn't "avenging" 9-11. I honor all our troops - - - unlike you, I want them deployed only against enemies who constitute an imminent danger to the United States. Iraq wasn't in that category, as more and more people are now acknowledging (WF Buckley's just the latest)

Oh that's correct, saddam's Iraq was just a peaceful benign entity harming nobody, per chamberlainbuff, michael moore, and the demos.

You all should really should stop smoking whatever it is your smoking, that whacks you out of reality like that, IMO.

You twist my words. I was replying to your suggestion that we invaded Iraq to "avenge" 9-11. Iraq wasn't behind 9-11. Nobody says they were -- and the fact that Saddam was a dictator and a bad guy doesn't change that. So the invasion didn't "avenge" 9-11.
