Conveniently overlooking the recent Sarin discovery in Iraq and the
presence of Al-Zawaheri at the beheading of Nick Berg.

If it doesn't fit the perconception simply ignore it.

We all might start at this point by acknowledging that Islamic
fundamentalist terrorism is NOT a national movement. The repetition of
things like "why Iraq" or "the 9/11 perps were all Saudi" ignores the
fact that the terrorists don't represent a particular country but
rather a particular ideology that is inimical to democracy and
Judeo/Christian societies. It isn't Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia or
Sudan or Yemen or Saudi that is the core threat, it's the
fundamentalist Islamic movement.

A brief review of Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" might
be in order.

I think "All Quiet on the Western Front" might be more in order. And as
far as
the Sarin goes that is just clutching at straws.

Oh, boy, another, "It is not WMD unless it meets my (ever changing)
definition of the *amount* required!" advocate, eh? I guess you will also
disregard the reported find of another chemical round (yet to be finally
verified, AFAIK) a week earlier (a mustard round that time), not to mention
Kay's final testimony that the Iraqis were in violation of Res 687 in
numerous ways, to include continuing to work on development of ricin (a
biotoxin) right up until we hit them? Ed's dead-on-target--you are going to
disregard anything that does not fit into your preconceived framework of
"Bush is evil".
