Your argument is that we should always act, under any circumstances, when there's probably not an imminent threat (from an organization far less powerful than any state) but that we should never, under any circumstances, ever, ever act before there's an imminent threat from a state with the financial power of the world's second largest oil reserves that has spent 20 years attempting to acquire nuclear weapons? If President Bush had ordered the invasion of Afghanistan in August of 2001, I'm sure of two things. One, 9/11 would have happened anyways (the plotters were already in the country). Two, you, Tom, and the Fool would be urging the impeachment of the President for an unprovoked attack on a foreign power. --- I wanted to go into Iraq before 9/11. It's a good Idea. So is going into Riyadh. Shrub should be impeached for the shear incompetence of every single action this administration has taken. --- You might even have been right. The evidence that the Taliban were dangerous on September 10th of 2001 was far weaker than the evidence that Saddam Hussein was dangerous, come to think of it. -------- Shrub 04: Don't Switch Horsemen Mid-Apocalypse
