[Captain Kirk]

So when we are attacked again, we simply do nothing....well except pay for defense of the terrorists.

No, when are attacked again, we should attack those who attacked us, not (as in the case of Iraq) a secular dictator who never attacked us. Not a single one of the 9-11 attackers was an Iraqi.

[SoCal Pubbie]

On the other hand, uniformed personnel of the Iraqi armed forces did attack us on numerous occasions, if not on 911. They violated the armistice signed at the end of the gulf war. The government of Afghanistan, in contrast, never attacked us at all.

As for the idea that we should not attack those who never attacked us, one might recall that Germany never attacked us in 1941 either.

Have a nice day.

Golly. Guess I imagined the AAA fired my way during the years prior to GW2...
