DP, your sincerity is genuine, but somewhat misinformed. The entire basis of the war in Iraq was WMD's. The following site catalogues this pretty nicely: http://billmon.org.v.sabren.com/archives/000172.html
Also, as somebody already said to one degree, the objectives of The War On Terrorism(C)is too vague, both its goals and its targets. To want to attack any country that MAY attack you could initially sound noble. Unfortunately, that includes everybody, including, technically, Canada. And its objectives are no more clearly defined that that of the War On Drugs(C), unless, that is, the objective is to throw everybody's ass in prison, in which case it may very well be a stunning success.
The War On Terror(C) is marketing. It is intended to be sold, and it is as clearly defined as The War On Bad Breath.
On another note, have you heard of the Project for the New American Century? Very many Europeans know of it, but I haven't met anybody here who does. Have a look. It's good bedtime reading. http://cryptome.org/rad.htm

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but in my perusal of that link I saw nothing that mentioned who it was being prepared for, why all these people got together and prepared the document, or who even read it. As far as I can tell, maybe 2 people in the current administration were in a group of ultra-conservatives, and sat around and thought up a few ideas about the future of the US. They didn't even neccessarily agree with everything said in the report, they just contributed to it somehow. So all the crazy alarmists saying 'Bush has been in a secret conspiracy since he was 5 years old to conquer the world through mind control and the US military' I'd say, You're a moron, go away.

Sorry. I'm new and I suck. I'll put this in the thread that it belongs to.
