Re: FAIRENHEIT 9/11 REVIEW
We would have known that Iraq had (or still has) WMDs when they used them. Of course, then it will be too late. And then, the left would have bashed the administration for not doing enough to stop it (just like the movie we are discussing does). Additionally, just because we cannot find them now, does not mean they weren't there then. If our media broadcasted for 3 months solid that the DEA was going to raid a particular crystal meth lab in the US, what do you think the odds are that we would find a lab when the raid finally went off?<br /><br />The same holds true for Iraq/Al-Quaeda. Had we done nothing, and Iraq collaborated in another attack post-9/11 on the US (like V. Putin of Russia has stated last week...look it up) , we would have pummelled the administration for not seeing the connection, and preventing it. But when the administration acts before an act was committed, then they are damned because "they haven't done anything to us".<br /><br />Bottom line here...we are dealing with a group of people who believe that the Western Nations and allies must be eliminated. This is built into their culture and religion, and it has happened over hundreds of years. We are fools if we think that any of our officials (not Bush, not Kerry, none of them) are going to change that fact through sanctions or diplomacy. They are not interested in diplomacy. This is not like the Palestinian situation, where they would be appeased with certain homeland (or so they say). The Middle Eastern Islamic nation will not be appeased until western culture, government, and life is eliminated...or recedes into complete isolationism.
