The Repukian Scum Bags actually WANT an attack on the US so they can claim that we need to become a police state.

Bush-Cheney policy is utterly foolhardy, executed by malfeasance, and engendering that natural result. For more on the insanity of this war, about the military's malfeasance and Condi Rice's bloody maladministration, see my blog, The Wrath of McGrath, at http://www.wrathofmcgrath.com.

With their divided society you have to consider both sides or Sunni minority is left out. They need a constitution perhaps similiar to ours to handle disputes and grievances that seems a far better solution than going to war or invading a country. Forcing a democracy never works, like forcing anything on an individual their first instinct is to fight back. No one wants to be forced that is what diplomacy is for. But, Bush has Condi in that position. Well that is a joke around the world. I agree that Bush's policies have increased Terrorists Recruitment. Because he didn't work the problem and the world had front row seats to how badly he handled Iraq at every turn. Killing off 5 to 6 percent of their population and displacing millions. Causing many to hate and get angry at his complete arrogance of a country's minorities and problematic civil wars. Elections & Wars do not address these problems...
