[Shouldn't they be thankful instead of complaining that some Americans don't like the fact that their president lied to them and went to war for the sake of a small terrorist state.]
MILLIONS of words are being written about the Iraq war, but hardly anyone asks the fundamental, underlying, unanswered question: Why did the Bush administration start it?
As Americans watch the sickening daily events, we really don’t know why we got into this mess.
All the official reasons for the war turned out to be phony. Iraq didn’t possess horror weapons, wasn’t in league with terrorists, wasn’t a menace to America and wasn’t eager to welcome U.S. troops as liberators. So why did President Bush order the attack? This should be the number-one question of 2004, yet it isn’t heard in the election campaign.
