Well, there he goes again. Our president, that is.

It is nearly 9-11 time again and he's out drumming up support for his war in Iraq, the one Middle Eastern country that posed the least danger to us. Just look where it has taken us!

President Bush's original war in Afghanistan, to go after Osama bin Laden made some sense, and, had we stuck with it, would probably have done some good. Now we are up to our necks and don't know how to get out.

Surely, anyone who can see, hear, read or think has figured out that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. So why are we there?
