I do not think there is a huge connection between al quada and Iraq. I do beleive though Saddam would have given weapons of mass destruction to terrorists who would use it against us. I also beleive that a strong, somewhat democratic Iraq could help stabilize the region.

Michael, you are kidding yourself and denying historical facts here. Time and time again, these countries that the west -- and not just the US -- have aided in tossing off the yoke of their oppressive governments and bringing in a new, oh so democratic government, have been dismal failures in nearly every case.
As a matter of fact, WE -- yes the US -- screwed the Kurdish population in Iraq multiple times... meaning more than once.
Shall we start taking Central and South American countries, Asian or African nations where the west has meddled in things on a case by case basis and see what happened?
I find it amusing as well that you claim I've got a new job but you did not bother to refute a single of the points I made with the exception of the goodwill one -- which is not correct if you look at recent history -- you simply tossed me into your 'must hate America since you don't like Bush' group.
You've known I didn't like Bush for years. Yes, I voted for him, but I won't make that mistake again.
