Since we don't know in which cave or even in which country bin Laden is hiding, we hear the clamor of many for us to overthrow our next villain- Saddam Hussein- guilty or not. On the short list of countries to be attacked are North Korea, Libya, Syria, Iran, and the Sudan, just for starters. But this jingoistic talk is foolhardy and dangerous. The war against terrorism cannot be won in this manner.
The drumbeat for attacking Baghdad grows louder every day, with Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol, Richard Perle, and Bill Bennett leading the charge. In a recent interview, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, made it clear: "We are going to continue pursuing the entire al Qaeda network which is in 60 countries, not just Afghanistan." Fortunately, President Bush and Colin Powell so far have resisted the pressure to expand the war into other countries. Let us hope and pray that they do not yield to the clamor of the special interests that want us to take on Iraq.

There is alot of information here that shows( if the info is accurate) that almost none of the laws that have been passed regarding national security were passed as a result of 911. However, if this info is correct, these are laws that congress has been trying to enact for years, 911 just gave them the rally cry they needed to get these laws passed.

Expanding the war by taking on Iraq at this time may well please some allies, but it will lead to unbelievable chaos in the region and throughout the world. It will incite even more anti-American sentiment and expose us to even greater dangers. It could prove to be an unmitigated disaster. Iran and Russia will not be pleased with this move...
...My guess is that in the not-too-distant future, so-called proof will be provided that Saddam Hussein was somehow partially responsible for the attack in the United States, and it will be irresistible then for the U.S. to retaliate against him. This will greatly and dangerously expand the war and provoke even greater hatred toward the United States, and it's all so unnecessary...
...It seems that Washington never learns. Our foolish foreign interventions continually get us into more trouble than we have bargained for- and the spending is endless. I am not optimistic that this Congress will anytime soon come to its senses. I am afraid that we will never treat the taxpayers with respect. National bankruptcy is a more likely scenario than Congress adopting a frugal and wise spending policy...

Honest and intelligent, he tried to warn people of the consequences of a war in Iraq. A shame they didn't listen.

Man, I know your just joking, but lets just speculate for a moment shall we?.The UK are the biggest ally in all this. Besides, If we actually did invade the UK, the choas that would ensue would not only wipe out UK, but USA and the rest of the world as well. The advanced wepons systems that both countries share are beyond any other(except maybe China). It would be a devistating world event, and the possible extenction(spelling?) of the human race as we know it.
Agian, I know you were not serious, but when considered seriously, thats not the scenario I would want to follow.
