Please explain to me how invading Iraq was standing up to terrorists. That's like standing up to the Chinese by invading Russia.
I am long past sick and tired of Bush apologists accusing Iraq war opponents of not wanting to fight terrorism. I
want my country to use the military to fight terrorism. I wish we were, but we're not! Our military is completely tied up in an entirely unrelated war. My point, which you call pablum, is that
maybe these attacks could have been prevented if the United States had made a serious effort to attack al Qaeda. Instead, we made a half-assed effort and then
abandoned it and committed our military elsewhere. To paraphrase Wes Clark, I'm not criticizing them for fighting terrorism, I'm criticizing them for NOT fighting terrorism. We don't even have enough troops to pacify Iraq, so we can't fight Al Qaeda.
