But the "conditions" that drove those 19 men "to come to kill us" is our dominance of their world, our authoritarian allies, and Israel.
They were over here because we are over there.

Thank you for your very astute observation Mr Chamberlain

^ If, God forbid, a Saudi-financed and/or Pakistani-manufactured WMD is ever detonated in the USA, then it will be Bush who will go down in history as Neville Chamberlain. Invading Iraq in 2003 was the equivalent of Franklin Roosevelt attacking Mongolia after Pearl harbor. If Bush chooses to meddle in that part of the world, he should at least have the brains and balls to address the real threats - Saudi money and the Pakistani secret services and their nuclear technology. Bush is appallingly stupid and corrupt.

I hope it didn't strain your intellect to come up with that apt analogy.
Iraq is very central to what was and is happening.
Alqueada had well established links in Iraq.
Just because you don't wish to trouble your mind over such things doesn't change the fact that Saddam was indeed a significant supporter of terrorists along with his history of aggression.
Mongolia!!!
Iraq is hardly Mongolia.

"The new Iraqi army is by all accounts much weaker, less skilled, less cohesive and less loyal to its government than even the South Vietnamese army was. For all intents and purposes, Washington might just as well hand over its weapons directly to Alqaeda.... For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president's men."

Bush supporters should spend more time reading their history and less time trying to think up clever one-liners to defend the indefensible.)

So you don't believe in crocodiles do you! Even after it's bitten your leg off?
No because even though the croc is happily chewing on your leg he can't possibly exist because he hasn't existed before....in your mind....anyway!

Me on the other hand I believe crocodiles exist. Why? because I see them happily chewing on your leg.
