Reply #113: Saddam HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9-11 [View All]

I never said he did, although I don't think you can say that resolutely when there is evidence that he gave money to Al Quaeda.

I think that Saddam posed a real terrorist threat to the US and I'm glad he's no longer in power.

My job situation is steady and from what I can see the roads are fine. The public schools here are terrible, as they are in most places. Healthcare I would prefer to pay for on my own but the govt has it set up in such a way that it's cost prohibitive. It sounds like you believe it's the job of the government to provide you with things.

I agree that it's unfortunate that we have not found Bin Laden, Hussein or Omar for that matter, but not an affront to their memories. As one astute poster pointed out earlier, there were 8 yrs b/n the first and second attacks, and the second one occurred b/c we let our guard down and, in part, b/c both Clinton AND Bush had opportunities to get Bin Laden and failed to do so. It's far more important that we continue to keep terrorists and the governments that aid terrorists on the defensive. This hurts their ability to plan other attacks.
