> I have a suspicion that George Bush might be purposely trying to frighten people He's stated that Iraq and Al quaeda(sp) are co - conspirators quite recently. Now he's warning about terror attacks from the Al Quada who is dubiously (imo) connected with Iraq.

>Yes..I do in some ways wish folks would read more international press , because you will get very different stories outside of N. America. For example, France is *deadset* against ANY U.S. violent use of military intervention,(and even have a very viable, alternative plan) and I think we as humans (and a part of the United Nations) must accept that. There are also millions of Iraqi innocent citizen lives at risk. They don't have B2 bombers and stealth aircraft.
Second, there is no reason to justify this 'war' against Iraq. Even some people in the FBI and CIA can't figure out where this supposed connection between Bin Laden and Iraq is. Even Bin Laden said Hussein is an "infidel"..and hates the guy. So..where is this connection? IMHO..
