Backpedaling? Geez, pedaling forward is hard enough...


Fat Elvis-

If I gave that impression, I erred in my typing.

If Iraq indeed financed and organized this attack, then I would declare war on Iraq and destroy them utterly.

My point was that "seems the most reasonable [candidate]" is not sufficient proof to act.

If Iraq was behind this in any way, shape or form, there is an evidence trail. As soon as our government is satisfied that the trail is established, Bush should immediately ask for a declaration of war. Then we should destroy the government of Iraq with the full and unfettered might of the US military and whichever nations chose to join us.

With that evidence, we are committing our forces to retaliation against a legitimate target, rather than just striking out at a country we don't like.

And we already know that Bin Laden is culpable in previous terrorist actions. We should now do what we lacked the will to do before. Tell the Taliban to surrender him and his henchmen. If they do not, then I take on Afghanistan as well.

Is that clearer? Often, in my haste to reply, I fail to compose quite as clearly as I would wish.
