I think it is pathetic that you have forgotten our enemies' message of 9/11.

How many of our enemies of 9/11 were/are citizens of Iraq or received aid and comfort from Iraq? If the message of 9/11 is so important, why hasn't little Dumbya declared war (yet) on Saudi Arabia and Egypt?

Like Reps. Ron Paul, Jim Leach and other elected Republican officials, I'm not persuaded that attacking Iraq at this time serves the best interests of the U.S. or of world peace.

You continue to miss the clear message of our enemies: 9/11 showed that we are vulnerable to attack by zealots who want to kill us. In mobile terrorism, the nationality of our enemies is far less important than is the ability of a well-organized, well-funded state to equip them with the weapons and logistics to carry out their deadly plans.

At present, neither the Saudi Arabian nor Egyptian government pose a threat to us. Iraq most assuredly does.

We can certainly disagree over the need for and effectiveness of war to solve this immediate and serious threat, but your disdain for those who do not agree with you -- specifically, the President -- reduces your argument to nothing more than a name-calling temper tantrum. I suspect you are more thoughtful -- and more respectful of intellectual debate -- than that.
