Lostkitty, I’ll read the book you suggest. I have no desire to hide my head in the sand. Perhaps it was a mistake to invade Iraq. Perhaps it was not a mistake. I’m undecided there. Just because we did not find WMD doesn’t mean it wasn’t there or that it wasn’t shipped off to Syria. My family once found a rotten egg hidden in the organ months after Easter was over.
As for us and our children experiencing problems related to this issue for years to come, that was going to happen whether we invaded Iraq or not. The fact is that there is a group of highly motivated fanatics who hate the US and are determined to hurt us. The pain started almost 15 years ago when they bombed the World Trade Center for the 1st time.
I get a little hot under the collar when people, including otherwise smart Americans, begin spouting the nonsense that we planned and/or WANTED 9/11 to happen. Then they follow it up by the laying the groundwork for the idea that any future attacks on our soil will the handiwork of our own government.
If a stolen suitcase nuke from the former USSR is detonated in DC, I’m pointing the figure elsewhere.
We seem to have gone off on a tangent and hijacked the thread. If anyone wants to continue the discussion, perhaps we should open a new one.
