re: simon creap - political failure
So lets roll on to every country that disagrees with U.S. policy is that what you are saying? That the U.S. should not rest unless theres a Mcdonalds, KFC and burger king in every Arab suburb, agree?
If this war was really about terrorism then surely logic tells us that Saudi Arabia or Pakistan would have been next. The Saudis made up 13 of the sep 11 hi- jakers and were funded by Saudi businesses. Pakistan had Al queda camps, admit to (WMD) Nuclear weapons and allowed Bin Laden to escape.
In my opinion this war is not about terrorism, but terrorism will be it's outcome. And i'll say again country's did not cause these terrorist attacks, it took a handfull of individuals living in caves, Mountains, Forrests, suburbs.
Killing Saddam will make us all feel good (one less murderous dictator), we might even feel warm and Fuzzy perhaps. Until the day comes when innocent people, a friend a neighbour get blown to smitherines because of their nationality.
This war is viewed by the majority of the world as wrong. Even countries involved have the majority of their population against this war. What does this tell arab extremists and their terrorist recruiting officers?
