PD – Not everyone who opposes this war and presidents actions necessrily believe that “there is some group of super powerful dry skinned old men closeted away in a dark room chain smoking while they manipulate world”. I actually believe that the 9/11 terorists got really really lucky with a low budget attempt to provoke the US. What I think – and more and more people are coming to agree – is that taking the “war on terror” to Iraq was a mistake from the get-go. Now you, and I and our children will pay for years to come – in more ways than financially.
The book I suggested to you “Blowback” has no conspiracy theories in it at all – that is why I suggested it. Just the conclusions and obbservations of an octgenarian(sp?), well-travelled, well-educated American (ex-military). I am guessing you are a military family living in Coronado or the Cays and having come from a tour in D.C? Well, that is the same as my background – so I hope you will consider reading some on the issue. it is complex, and certainly the most important issue facing all of us today. This is why the topic continues to creep up in all sorts of web forums totally unrelated to politics… Intelligent people like you are missing out on crucial information because it isnt widely disseminated.
