If GW had done nothing about the situation that unfolded in September he would have been a bigger ass than he is now. Wherever did you get the idea that anyone here thought he should have? Or are you just tilting at artificial windmills? Is your mind so hampered by bigotry that you can envision no course of action between "nothing" and starting a war only marginally related to the Al Queda attack?

Speaking of Al Queda, do you think Saddam Hussein is a reasonable substitute? That toppling the regime in Iraq is equivalent to striking a blow against fanatic Al Qeda style terrorism? Did you think the terrorist attacks were coming from Iraq for some reason?

Sanity includes, among other things, finding the right source for a problem. Finding the wrong source, and striking out against it, is just mindless complex reaction which makes the situation worse.

Thus, W.
