Seems like waste of a thread so I'll change the subject. Why did we invade Iraq and alienate the US from its allies. Afterall Iraq was already under sanctions, limited in its no fly zone, its military was mostly demolished. Why Iraq when Iran was more dangerous. No wmd, no nuclear program, etc... and now Iraqi terrorists are wanting to plot against targets in the US if given a chance. Iraq is now important because it is a stage in the middle east that has to be won or else the decision to go into Iraq was a terrible mistake.
