The premise of the above two posts is that we are in Iraq to keep America free.
In other words, they entirely "bought" the implied connection of 9/11 and
Saddam. Unfortunately, the administration of George Bush has deliberately
connected those two events (and anthrax from a US Army lab helped).
To attack Iraq in order to free it from a non-menace to our freedom, Mr.
Saddam Hussein, has now embroiled us in future conflict in the region.

It would have been better to remain at peace with the Middle East,
and to solve the 9/11 conundrum better than concluding its perpetrators
on the same day it happened. There are technical impossibilities here
for it to have been bin Laden anyway, and it certainly wasn’t Saddam either.
Perhaps some rogue element of the war for oil party?

Nevertheless our troops are in harm’s way and I support caring for them
and their families as best we can. Many of them enlisted out of sheer
patriotism, wanted to support our nation when it was attacked. They
are very much in need of good leaders, which they do not have at present.
Cry the beloved country.
