Go ahead. Send me a new generation of recruits. Your bombs will fuel their hatred of America and their desire for revenge. Americans won't be safe anywhere. Please, attack Iraq. Distract yourself from fighting Al Qaeda. Divide the international community. Go ahead. Destabilize the region. Maybe Pakistan will fall -- we want its nuclear weapons. Give Saddam a reason to strike first. He might draw Israel into a fight. Perfect! So please -- invade Iraq. Make my day.

"Destabilize the region"...

Favorite media buzz word that means nothing.

What exactly does Iraq control that is stable?

We didn't turn Libya into a stone age country and kill a million of its citizens.

The same cries of overwhelming rage in the Arab street where heard then as well. As I'm sure Chris can attest to.

PS We didn't turn Iraq into a stone age country or kill a million of its citizens either.

[Chris 62]

I think I heard the "destabilize" line for Afghanistan also.

Again, what exactly is stable that will go ass-over-t1t?

"The same way bombing Libya did?"

You have Lybia-style bombings on a permanent basis in Iraq.

[DinoDoc]

Not exactly. We'd be bombing the Presidential Palaces if that were so.

[Roland]

The only reason you don't do that is that Saddam isn't there.

i think the whole thing wants action, but in moderation and certaintly NOT disguising other interests as "Action for terrorism" because people will know.

Back then, terrorism was largely state-sponored. Syria, Libya, Iran, etc didn't like each other. So while the "Arab street" may have rallied against the bombings, there was no one who was gonna do anything. BTW, I've seen some stuff which suggests that we bombed Libya not because it was a major sponsor of terrorism, but rather because it was weak and easy to attack. Many of the bombings laid at Libya's door are also linked to Syria.

There's a million dead Iraqis and we bombed pretty much all of their modern infrastructre.
