We will most likely see an increase in terrorist activity if we attack Iraq.

...as if we didn't have problems now and before.

So, in other words, you're opposed to going after Saddam. You're entitled to your opinion, of course. I also don't think isolation, which you seem to support, is a realistic policy for today's world. I suppose like Harry Browne, you think we deserved what happened on 9/11?...

You state yourself well, but I'd be more comfortable with your comments if they didn't sound like they were copied off of the "NOT IN OUR NAME" website.

I don't think that we deserved 9/11. The terrorists are completely responsible for their actions. I do, however, think that it is foolish and short-sighted to think that the direction our foreign policy has taken the last few decades hasn't created more enemies than we otherwise would have.

It's kind of like walking down a dark, deserted street at midnight and getting mugged. You know that you may have been able to avoid the mugger had you chosen a different path, but that does not make the mugger any less guilty of his crime. Learning from such an experience, a normal person would either avoid dark streets in the future, or at least make sure he was able to protect himself from another mugger. I don't see our government learning that lesson.
