It's starting to look more and more that America, faced with a new and invisible threat, desperately tries to find a target to respond to. It can't use it's military force to attack the terrorists because they're simply not concentrated in one single spot. Your neighbour could be one.
Iraq will be the first victim on the way.. After that it's more than likely that Al-Qaeda will launch a new large attack to revenge the deaths of thier brothers-of-religion.
What then? We've rooted out afghanistan and Iraq.. It's time to start looking at mountains in Pakistan where Al-Qaeda refugees from afghanistan most probably reside at the moment, despite of Pakistan's status as a 'friendly' nation.
Only trouble is, Paki's have nukes..
Yea...the imminent attack of Iraq is a "knee-jerk" response by the US for 9/11. I've heard this over and over, ad nauseum. By my calculation it is February 2003...a year and a half AFTER 9/11.
Iraq is a threat to the US and many other countries in the Mid-East. A war was fought against them in 1991. Iraq was SUPPOSED to have disarmed, but more and more evidence has shown that they are in material breach of the UN mandated peace after the Gulf War.
The UN isn't doing anything about it...other than allowing their weapons inspectors to be led about the country on wild goose chases purposly set up by the Iraqi government.
So, thank goodness the US is going to step in and do what the UN should have recommended doing for the past 12 YEARS - force Sadaam to disarm.
What then, you ask? North Korea springs to mind. Yup, they are next. Then when they are dealt with it will be time to look at Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen etc etc.
Time to clean up all of the toejam holes around the earth. Just be patient...their time will come.
