Should it even matter ?
Now, it appears the final report on the War in Iraq has arrived in Washington. Not surprising, they find that Saddam Hussein was not a threat to the US and really had no intentions against the US. But, we are stuck in that country in an unnecessary, unwise, and unpredictable civil war. More than 1060 American troops have now died.

A "what if" scenario" What if a single terrorist hijacked a plane and flew it into a football stadium that was packed and screaming for the Sunday event? What if 6,000 people were killed in the terrible act? Would that make it worse than Pearl Harbor and the WTC attack combined? After all, more deaths would occur in that one instance, than in both of the other attacks.

And, would we then attack another country, invade without caution or threat, another sovereign country, under the pretense that we must kill them before they kill us? Is there really that much difference with our invasion of Iraq and the "scenario" above?
