Senior,
Im not sure how your comment on "media's reports" of the war in Iraq have absolutly anything to do with your statements. The NIE entitled "Trends for Global Terrorism" http://www.dni.gov/press_releases/Declassified_NIE_Key_Judgments.pdf
Show that we have created an entire host of problems for the "war on terror", which was our excuse for going in to Afganistan. As for Iraq, we went in to stop WMDs (which there were none) and tp eliminate terrorist threats. I completely agree with mmarsh here.
So what you are saying is that we should stop all efforts to stop terrorism in the world and just protect our shores? How dumb are you? Do you think that the current location of our troops has nothing to do with the restricted activity of Al Queda and other terrorist groups that are sympathetic to their cause?
Iraq had training camps for Al Queda. After 9/11 the President said if you harbor or support terrorism we will be coming. Did you miss those two historic points?
The reports you refer to seem to be biased in their report. The world situation is not as bad as they say nor as bad as it could be if we had done the Clintonesque thing and sat on our hands.
There were no WMD's? There were traces of the gas used in the North as well as on Iran. Did you miss the fact that MIG's were found hidden in the desert? If you can hide a MIG in that manner how can you not consider that other types of weapons might not be hidden in the same manner? Consider that when the UN inspectors were in Iraq they were required, by Saddam, to give two weeks notice of when they were going to inspect any given facility. Has it ever occured to you that components could have been moved in that two week period?
Do you remember the famous uniforms of workers (new uniforms BTW) that said "Baby Milk Factory" on the backs to let the world know that we were inspecting wrong places?
See the facts and misinterpet them to fit your agenda is the common goal of the media and some reporting agencies.
