I was just wondering, when, exactly, did Iraq attack the United States, so that we have justification for attacking it? I must have missed that bit of news.They didn't, directly. But a senior agent of the Mukhabarat met with Mohammed Atta in April of 2001. Several European and State Department "experts" have tried to debunk the "airport meeting" story, but the Czechs have stood by it.
You can stick your head in the sand all you want. It will not alter the fact that someone may be coming to kill you. You and the rest of the Libertarians want to wait until Mr. Fabulous builds a bomb and then gives it to Al Qaeda for a tryout on one of our cities? Fine. Thankfully, the people have a sense of their own survival, and are ignoring the appeasement crowd.
After all, if Hitler had attacked Czecheslovakia in 1938, would the British and the French not have been justified in attacking Germany? By your logic, they would have no justification for so doing, as neither would have been directly attacked. History suggests that the British and the French followed your advice. History also suggests that there was a terrible price that was paid.
Be Seeing You,
