Just a few more to your comment: Our government has YET to take rational steps to keep terrorists out and deport the ones who are here.
Breaking up the communication and financial ties to terrorists where ever they may hole up..to me is a big step in the war on terroism. Divide and conqueor. All this is just a part the "clean up on aisle 'C'" Bush has succeeded in achieving since taking over office from a self serving William Jefferson Clinton.
That's my big problem. Could a war against Iraq been sold to the American people before September 11, 2001? No. What about a year ago? No. Our gole was to destroy the terrrorists responsible. Now, we are making lists of countries we want to attack. Hardly a day goes by that there isn't a thread here titled "some country" is next after Iraq. Sounds like someone is preparing for a perpetual war, and Im not sure why.
Many people object to a war with Iraq because our gola was to destroy the terrorists responsible, not just start attacking any country who has had hostility against us.
