The War Bush Isn't Fighting (why Iraq's irrelevant)

[ovidsen]

This is from Eugene Robinson in the Washington Post, and he nails it so well I'm passing it along to my friends who now have doubts about their past support for Bush's war...

When unsmiling agents at the airport take away your contact lens solution, your toothpaste, and your cologne or after-shave, remember Osama bin Laden. Remember the real war on terrorism that the Bush administration and its allies decided not to fight, preferring cowboy-style military adventures.

The revelation yesterday of the elaborate plot to blow up airliners over the Atlantic Ocean with liquid explosives reminds us of the real threats we face -- as opposed to the phantom threats that George W. Bush and Tony Blair have conjured to justify their disastrous war in Iraq.
