As Kendall said, "The attack of 9/11 was not an act of war, it was a criminal act and should have been dealt (with) that way."

Of course it was an evil act to launch the 911 attacks, Jack. Obviously. However, to use them as pretext for a multinational war effort waged on other nations was inappropriate, illogical, counterproductive, and frankly, ridiculous....but handy if you wanted to invade Afghanistan and Iraq anyway, which I believe was the case. Not because of 911. Because of major geopolitical considerations that existed well before 911 ever happened.

You don't declare war on the state of Oklahoma because a hidden cell of White supremacist conspirators there blows up a building somewhere in the USA or France or Germany. You don't declare war on Afghanistan because a hidden cell of jihadists there blows up a building somewhere in the USA. You don't declare war on Iraq because of WMDs that don't exist.

Not if you are telling the truth and are still capable of rational thought, that is....

Bill, please just add an "in my opinion" to the end of all my posts when you read them, okay? I would do it myself, but I thought it was obvious already.
