And if you read my statement that is exactly what I said, 100 percent support of the troops, their safety, and success. Although I'm unsure how fighting a 3rd world dictator with 'possible' (note possible not definite) ties to terrorism is going to protect our freedom.
I understand your concerns. The 9/11 terrorists used our own infrastructure (airports and large aircraft) to attack us, not traditional weapons of mass destruction. I'm sure we can look forward to more "inconceivable" techniques in their attacks.
Again, I think America's proper external role as it defends itself and its interests is a legitimate debate, so I didn't mean to cast doubts on your logic. On the other hand, I think the time for equivocation is over, and I think we agree on that. But this will come up again and again until our current enemies are rendered incapable of leveling a threat at us.
