invading Iraq on a personal vendetta didn't help.
We had the opportunity after 9/11 to address this problem head on with the world's backing and we squandered it because Dubya wanted to one up his daddy.
More importantly we had an united America - Americans were lining up at the recruiting centers to fight this threat against America - and our government wasted it.
Right on again! If I had been president bombs would have fallen on Mecca followed by Medina a few days later if necessary.
When I watched the Twin Towers go down I said crap to my wife the sleeping dragon has just been awaken. I was expecting Bush to go before Congress asking for a declaration of war. Heck, even Gaddafi, the Russians, and others were quick to say we are sorry and please don't bomb and kill us.
The dragon blew it by not declaring war, naming countries, kicking ass and taking names. Instead the dragon rolled over and went back to sleep.
