Middle East a "Hot Spot?" Yeah, what about Africa? There is a continent and a people who all the help the entire world has to offer. To a much highe degree that the Iraqi people. Oh yeah, they have nothing we need! What about Afghanistan? Do not their citizens deserve a Democracy? Oh yeah, they have nothing we need unless it was narcotics! Get the theme?

No Saddam was not a terrorist. An evil dictator, yes, but not a terrorist! Harbor terrorists? Not really. If you were to go into any Middle Eastern country you would find terrorists. Dose this mean that every country in the Middle East harbors terrorists?
Now if you want to talkk about terrorists and country who harbor them. Lets start with Iran, Syria, and my favorite, and the favorites of the Bush family, Saudi Arabia!

Three questions: 1. Were are the insurgant terrorists know in Iraq coming from?
2. What country is not only aiding them financially but also with weaponry?
3. What country in the Middle East actually has nuclear capabilities?
Get the theme? Okay, four questions.

Is this country not a bigger threat than Iraq ever was?

Funny thing about history. One, it takes time and lives to prove. Two, the winners usually write it.
I think history will look at our war with Iraq as an unjust one. If seem through the eyes of facts on why we were told we had to go in and attack Saddam.

Regardless of the reasons why we were told we went to war and regardless of whether you believe them or not, the War was and is not unjust. Saddam was a evil animal that preyed on his own citizens. He tortured, raped and murdered them at will. He gased anywhere from thousands to hundreds of thousands of people. He defied UN sanctions, he made hundreds of millions of dollars for himself and not his people or country off "under the table" oil sales to France and other countries.

Being unjust and not agreeing with why we went into Iraq are two totally different things. You just can't and won't see that. And that's your right to think that way. That's why the US is such a great country. Of course if you were in Iraq prewar and disagreed with Saddam, we would not be having the conversation right now. You would be dead.
