Well SX Insider, maybe you missed the first time it was brought up. North Korea has threatened a nuclear war that would certainly not compare to 9/11 on any level, is the US rushing into war with them? Have they acknowledged any intention of doing so? No, they have chosen `diplomatic` means of resolving the North Korea issues.
Okay, yes, around 3,000 Americans died on 9/11. But for that you are happy to have the blood of hundreds of men and woman who serve your country (or the country of an ally) and the blood of thousands of Iraqi troops and civilians on your hands?? A number well beyond the number that died on 9/11. In all honesty, with the intelligence that the U.S. claims to hold, the skills of their military, do you believe a war is absolutely necessary!?
Iraq is in dire straits as it is, does the US really need to show its might by sending hundreds of thousands of its men and women to fight a country that is already stricken with poverty? I'm sure Saddam can be removed with much less effort than Bush is claiming.
