In response to a blog I came across , entry titled "Hard Question":

Guy (is that French?),

Luckily, I came across your blog. I didn't think there were actually creatures like you running around! Firstly, you may be the only person in the world that has verifiable (and bona fide) links between Al Qaeda and Hussein. It is also remarkably funny that you are of the persuasion that the weapons are in Iraq (or Syria) but we just haven't found them yet. I do agree that we will (possibly) find weapons of mass destruction. If we do, they will either be the ones we plant there right before the elections, or the ones that Donald Rumsfeld hand-delivered to Saddam during the Iraq-Iran war -- the same weapons that, you using as a reason to occupy and destroy the country, were used against his own people.

The United Nations, who were in Iraq for a long time, never found any traces of WMDs in more than 6 months; the US Military has not found traces in over 1 year and suddenly, our reasons for going to war in the first place had changed from Imminent Threat of WMD Annihilation to "preserving peace, installing Democracy, preserving oil, defeating terror." Don't get me wrong, the U.S is safer without Saddam Hussein in power and we are safer without the Taliban in power. Bush cannot claim that this war was due to 9/11 (although Bush invokes that day as much as possible, even comes to my city (NYC) to beg for reelection in August). The intentional misleading, lies, and ulterior motives are an embarrassment to Democracy itself and is remarkably the antithesis of such an institution.


Regarding your feelings on the Nick Berg beheading, I somewhat agree with you. This is not one revolution of the "cycle of violence." It is more like an addition to the propaganda-pining-for-sympathy by both parties (mixed with a public visage of (and for) revenge). Like many neo-conservatives, or "compassionate conservatives" as Ms. Hughes loves to call them, you can brilliantly bring everything back to September 11th. One terrible crime does not justify a preemptive world war.

I notice that you are a religious person, I appreciate and salute that. However, it has no place in the White House, at least not during press conferences (as rare as they are), State of the Union addresses, or anything else. One of our best Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, would never mention what Church or religious group he belonged to. But Bush wrongly uses his faith as a tool to convince and infuriate people at the same time, never failing to 'plug' it every chance he gets. His crusade does not belong with a "Made in America" label on it, especially not when, during his tenure, the United States has lost more jobs in any time since the depression. This arrogance will instill more hatred in the United States than there was in all of Iraq and Afghanistan combined, including much here in the U.S.

Alienation should have been Bush's campaign slogan in 2000, rather than being "A uniter, not a divider." Maybe he succeeded in that the world is uniting in a fervent hope and desire for Bush to abdicate his throne of conceit and moral-superiority in a ball of fire, shame, dishonor, infamy and ignominy. God Bless John Kerry.

Martin,

It is a verifiable fact that there were several direct links between the Hussein regime and Al Queda. Secondly, it is also a provable fact that Hussein had WMD. He used them on his own people. The correct question should be, not did he have them, but, where are they? At the present tome, there is a very high likelyhood that they are in Syria, having been sent there by Hussein, prior to the conflict.

As regards your question about the Iraq conflict being a direct result of 9/11...The conflict in Iraq is only one front in a world wide war against Islamofascism. No one in their right mind would deny the fact that Hussein had the capability of providing weapons to those that would seek to do America harm.Once again, there is documented, verifiable proof that the Hussein regime supported terrorist activities. Only those that are very short-sighted or have an agenda driven by ulterior motives can fail to see the need to engage the enemy on their soil, rather than our own.
