Pinheads, let's remember, the Taliban didn't attack us any more than Saddam attacked us. Afghanistan is a sovereign nation, which was not responsible for the attacks on 9/11. We were attacked by a radical Muslim extremist group, which happened to be based in Afghanistan. They have now moved into the mountainous regions of northern Pakistan. The Afghanistan government, run by the Taliban, was enabling and allowing alQaeda to operate in their country, just as Sudan was before we ran them out of there after the first WTC attacks. They actually wanted to move to Iraq, but we made that impossible by eliminating the only man who could have facilitated that action, Saddam Hussein. So now, they are in Pakistan, and we are going into Afghanistan full-bore, just as we went into Iraq without alQaeda present.
The only difference between the Taliban and Saddam, is the Taliban is Muslim based and Saddam was secular, both were sympathetic to alQaeda, just as Pakistan, Syria and Iran are sympathetic to alQaeda. Saddam was so sympathetic to their cause that he actually helped to fund the first WTC attacks, and was harboring one of the 1993 WTC bombers, paying him a state salary. He was also allowing alQaeda and other similar radical Islamic groups to establish training camps in his country, just as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Syria are currently doing.
Then, there is Saudi Arabia, who is currently teaching their school kids the message of hate preached by alQaeda. The only difference between them and Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iran, is the fact they sell us oil and are our "ally" like Pakistan. We could throw Jordan in here too, but I don't want to get you too confused. In short, it's a great big mess, and we are right in the middle of it. We didn't cause it, we didn't create it, we are fighting it.
You may wish to continue arguing that Iraq had nothing to do with alQaeda, and that is fine... but why do you think, alQaeda is present in all these other countries, has operatives in a hundred other countries, but for some mysterious reason, were never present in Iraq? Fact is, since about the first month after we invaded Iraq, alQeada and their supporters are who we've been fighting there, with the help of Iraqi security forces... let's forget that fact, the fundamental objectives of alQaeda and radical Muslim extremists, is an Islamic Caliphate, which would include dominating the territory known as Iraq. Doesn't it seem the least bit odd to you, that alQaeda has been fighting so fiercely for Iraq, a country they supposedly had nothing to do with?
Oh yes, I know, you've all been pumped full of your koolaid propaganda, and you have an answer for all of these questions. You will drag out the same old tired arguments about Saddam not being connected to alQaeda, but... neither is Afghanistan or Pakistan, really. Neither is Syria or Iran, these are all sovereign nations. They are all part of the radical Islamic vision of Caliphate which would span from Indonesia to Turkey.
I think you people need to educate yourselves on this, dig a little deeper than Micheal Moore for your answers, and understand this problem and what it will take to defeat it. Right now, you are a bunch of wandering sheep, following your leader Obama, and your shepherd, the Democrat Party.
