My letter to be in Monday's Seattle Times |
|
Edited on Sat Aug-12-06 10:51 AM by Defenestrate
Editor: In light of the bombing plot that was foiled by British intelligence, I would like to know how our invasion of Iraq has anything to do with preventing the kind of attack that we learned about today. From the beginning, many commentators have said that good international police work would be far more effective in bringing UBL and his minions to justice. And it wouldn't cost billions that could otherwise be spent on securing borders, ports, chemical/nuclear plants, etc. Doesn't this plot prove that fighting them over there has virtually nothing to do with keeping us safe? I just want someone to explain to me how we're safer now that we've lost so much in Iraq.

It is all true too. We are actually less safe because the Bush policies have enraged the radical and turned others into terrorists.

And it leads to the inevitable question: Have the billions we've squandered and the thousands of lives wasted accomplished one goddam thing?
