Why? You've demonstrated the value of your opinions many times (i.e., not worth the electrons wasted in reproducing it).
Iraq had nothing to do with AQ. If you're thinking that if "we attack them there, so they won't attack us", that's been shown to be wrong a long time ago. If anything the Ba'athists were more against radical jihadism than almost any other group. The only real effect that the invasion of Iraq had on AQ was to give them a breathing space. We had them on the run and were near to completely crushing them. Then most of the regular and special forces were removed for the Iraq invasion, that gave AQ and the Taliban the opportunity to regroup. Now the Taliban are resurgent in Afghanistan and have all but isolated Kandehar, and have possibly retaken many of the Pashtun provinces in the south. >I respect your opinion. >My opinion is that if we didn't go to war with Iraq we would have been >attacked again. > >We'll never know which one is right ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:264623 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
