Perhaps but we weren't. Saddam was openly harboring terrorist leaders and supporting terrorists with money.

The ONLY threat that Saddam was, was to Bush Sr that he hated.

Today the country is overwhelmed with terrorists that are MOTIVATED by our presence in the mid east.

It is more a Terrorists training ground now than ever before. WE gave them motivation.

Because of that war more money is pouring into the coffers than ever.

I have heard they do not know if "elections' in Afghanistan can be held as planned because of all the NEW foreign terrorists flooding in there.

Bush has opened a Pandora's box, and try as he may I do not think he will be able to stuff it all back in. We are now between a rock and hard place, staying is a catastrophe and leaving would be unthinkable because of what we will leave behind. So now we threaten Iran with the military option. Unbelievable !

Tell that to Kuwait. The reason that we invaded Iraq was because Saddam violated the terms of the cease fire after we kicked his raping, looting, and murdering army out of Kuwait.

It is not "overwhelmed with terrorists". They are not fighting because WE are there; they are fighting because they are no longer in control of the government, and they want that control back.

It is more a Terrorists training ground now than ever before. WE gave them motivation.

That is absolute nonsense. The people of Iraq are sick of the terrorists. You need to get your information from somebody other than Teddy Kennedy.

Because of that war more money is pouring into the coffers than ever.

More nonsense. They are suffering a severe funding problem, the likes of which they have never seen. Just because you say something, that doesn't make it so.

I have heard they do not know if "elections' in Afghanistan can be held as planned because of all the NEW foreign terrorists flooding in there.

You heard this where? You need to stop listening to the "voices" in your head.

Bush has opened a Pandora's box, and try as he may I do not think he will be able to stuff it all back in. We are now between a rock and hard place, staying is a catastrophe and leaving would be unthinkable because of what we will leave behind.

Get back on your meds. Staying is not a "catastrophe", it is necessary until the Iraqis can take care of themselves. That time is getting ever closer. Leaving right now would be unthinkable, because we would be leaving the Iraqi people at the mercy of their neighbors. Those neighbors are the ones supplying the arms, funding, and personnel for terrorism.

So now we threaten Iran with the military option.

Iran is attempting to build nuclear weapons for the specific purpose of attacking Israel and the US. They have made this very clear. If they continue to pursue this course, they will likely face the military option.

If we gave them the motivation, how do you account for the fact that they were there BEFORE us?

I have no problem with the idea of Iraq being a terrorist honeypot.
