We cannot go into the hearts and minds of terrorists and change their mind. If they interpret their religious laws in an extremist fashion they are absolutely correct in saying America is a threat to their way of life.
The war in Iraq is one of the attempts to eliminate a base of operations. Name one country that would now say, "we are providing a safe harbor to Bin-laden". None will. Hussein repeatedly went against the UN, funded terrorism in Israel and had a history of attacking innocent people. Remember in the Gulf war when he randomly shot SCUDS at Israel? If the operation in Iraq is successful, that’s one less place to harbor and fund terrorists. Bin Laden is on the run, we are working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to keep them on the run. Iraq had nothing to do with Bin-laden, but Hussein promoted terrorism and if given the opportunity would have done all he could to help Al-Queda hurt the US.
If you have a better solution, please share. Please provide Kerry's solution. I have never heard it. I know Bush's plan and I agree.
