I understand that Iraq has holy places, however, the issue/is was we were protecting Saudi Arabia. We are moving in a direction that will eventually, God willing, lead us to a place where we no longer do that.
Which is better, sitting in Saudi Arabia and getting attacked, or doing something about the problem and getting attacked.
I chose the latter.
Iraq has some of holiest places in the region.
Bin Laden, if he's still alive, is probably laughing his butt off as to how stupid we Americans are to attack a country like Iraq.
The hatred of anything American was
already growing in the Middle Eat.
The US attacking Iraq has created
even more hatred in the region directed
at us. Bush's war has opened up a "Pandora's Box."
Afghanistan. We're still there. but you
never hear about it on the news anymore.
If Bush had set out to do what he
"promised" to do and get Bin Laden
in Afghaniistan, we wouldn't be in the
mess. The countries in the region
were pretty much on our side, when
we attacked there.
But, our "wonderful" president decides to attack Iraq instead
I can just hear Bin Laden now,
"Thank you Allah, Bush has fallen into
my trap."
