Guys:

I've said nothing about Bill Clinton, as he is not relevant to the discussion of what justifies the US "firing the first shot" and invading another country. Nothing in what I was taught as a military officer justifies our invasion of Iraq.

In contrast, there is this strange relationship with the Saudis that has emerged. Osama is a Saudi. All the terrorists who are known to have directly participated in 9/11 were Saudis. Many of Osama's family lived inthe US on 9/11, yet they were allowed to fly out when all planes were grounded, with no FBI or CIA interrogation. When Tim McVey bombed the Federal Building in my hometown in 1995, and when his identity was reasonably established, the FBI was in contact with his family pronto, and they certainly were not allowed to leave the country. Strange world.

Thanks,
Richard
