[quote=Fleet 500] Ignoring terroists was tried in the 1990s and it failed.[/quote]
Actually "they" were engaged in talks and the formation of a peaceful resolution.
Leading this week to the Sinn Fein ( IRA political arm ) fnially recognising the jurisdiction of the police in all matters.
SO who "failed" and why ??

[quote=Fleet 500]Lol. I can't believe some people actually think that is true!
What would you call Abdul Rahmin Yasin, the man who mixed the chemicals to make the bomb set off in 1993 in the World Trade Center, who was receiving safe haven in [I]Baghdad[/I] and getting a monthly salary from the [I]Iraqi[/I] government?[/quote]
The same as we should have called Colonel Oliver North perhaps :D

al Qaeda and the Taliban's ability to commit terrorist attacks on a large scale flourished during the '90s instead of those terrorist organizations being damaged as they are today.

[QUOTE=crisis]I would call him one terrorist the U.S. never worried about invading Iraq for before 9/11.[/QUOTE]
That's because Clinton was president before 9/11. A president who was more concerned about his poll ratings than the safety of his country.
[QUOTE]What’s really amazing is that you can still cling on to any tenuous links between Iraq and terrorism and yet ignore the abundance of facts that point to the opposite. That of course reeks of blind patriotism.[/QUOTE]
I have posted info before about Iraq's ties to terrorism. And now you're back to the "blind patriotism" garbage again? After you admitted I am not one of those?

One guy?
I think the U.S needs to shift its focus back to Afghanistan, Canada is stuck in the most volatile region and a Canadian soldier is [I]6 times [/I] more likely to be killed in Afghanistan then an American soldier in Iraq. Seriously those 20,000 new troops should be going to Kandahar.

No, much more than "one guy."

Ok so let me get this straight: Saddam has been known to be working with Al Queda for awhile now?

The U.S. did not fund terrorism.

NOT reading :(
THe Britush government engaged the IRA supporters, they took a softly-softly approach to handling the situation.
They were neither ignored nor "liberated".
THAT was the point.

NORAID ?
Allowing known IRA terrorist bombers to visit the US to raise funds for the fight ?
I'm afraid you need to learn a little more about the darker history of your country.
The IRA weren't armed with Kalashnikovs -- they had M16s and Enfields :(
