     True, but we made our first mistake here.  Instead of relying on local
     warlords (who's loyalty was questionable) we should have gone after Bin
     Ladan ourself when we had him trapped in Torra Bora.  Big mistake!

      Iraq has been festering for almost a decade since the first Gulf War.
      The UN wasn't doing anything and when the idea of WMD destruction
      came up Bush decided to use it to finish the job his dad had started.

     There's very little we can do about Afghanistan.  The Taliban is supported
     by the Muslims in Pakastan and we'd have to invade them to get to the base
     of Bin Ladan's support.

      We should have quit after diposing of Saddam, not attempted to build
      a democracy in Iraq.  Bush has now takan sides against Isreal, pushed
      the people out of Gaza and incurred the wrath of God.  Katrina may have
      been a natural disaster, but it bears many of the marks of retribution
      for our actions against the Jews.
