Skip, this is the most absurd bit on nonsense and I'm amazed that there are millions of others that believe the exact same thing your do

Go back and listen to what Bush and Cheney were saying and while they never stated a link, they sure as hell insinuated one. At one time 70% of Americans believed there was a link between Saddam and 9/11. Combine that with what was being said by the Administration and it's clear it wasn't just some fluke.

No major nation is going to stand in our way when there is a clear threat. They sure didn't in Afghanistan, hell NATO followed us in and is doing the brunt of the work today.

Iraq was completely different, and the UN process falling apart wasn't the fault of Saddam alone, it was also the fault of Bush refusing to work the International politics necessary to legitimize a pre-emptive invasion.

When you've had a bad day at work you don't come home and beat your dog. If the solution to our problems is to bomb people because it makes us feel good then we've completely lost the humility and pride that has made this country what it is.

Doesn't mean we can't admit our mistakes and still kick some booty when necessary. America's enemies shouldn't fear us because we are a loose cannon. They should fear us because we are so respected in the world. And there's not a lot of respect at the moment
