"No one is saying that Iraq was 9/11... the fear was it was a country that was going to lead to something much worse than 9/11."

I guess you have little faith in the 9/11 commission.

That 70% poll came out long before Bush's press conference in January, and he did very little before that to set the record straight.

If Iraq is America's example on how they spread democracy(leaving DU and undetonated cluster bombs everywhere)......I just assume say "no thanks".

The Bush Administration's position of "just trust us" doesn't fly anymore.
These guys can't even get a terror report right.

And this doctrine of pre-emption is bullshit!! What if every other able country decides to adopt a policy of pre-emption??

Bush Jr. is simply continuing and maintaining the US's strategic
interest in the middle east's oil reserves that started after WW1, under the flag of spreading democracy.


So, again, either they put up, or shut up!!
