By the way, how is it that we rushed to war with Iraq, given that it was Bill Clinton in 1998 who signed the Iraq Liberation Act (not the Pakistan Liberation Act....the Iraq Liberation Act), calling for regime change ~ the removal of Saddam Hussein? He simply did not act on it.

How many UN resolutions over a twelve year period were there for Pakistan? Seventeen? I'm not aware of them.

Bush's "rush" to war with Iraq included going before Congress and receiving approval and support....so much so in the House that the vote was 420-1. The Senate also approved and supported the decision. Show me the statements of those Senators and Congressmen who felt that instead of going to war with Iraq at that time we should have attacked Pakistan. I'd like to see their names as well as their statements.

Bush has stated from the beginning that we took the war there to keep it from being fought here.

Any honest study of the timeline of events that took place....votes as well as formal statements and otherwise, leading up to the war with Iraq reveals that Bush received approval and support from many people in Washington who soon after turned their backs on his decision (and while our soldiers were risking and sacrificing their lives on that decision).

You ask me what idea....it is this -- that we are fighting the wrong war and that we should be over there....or over there....or over there....but certainly not right here where we are.
