A LITTLE LATE

I intentionally didn't jump on the 9/11 blog bandwagon and post something, because... well, because I prefered to go most of the day not really talking about it or even thinking about it. I grew weary over the weekend seeing and hearing blurbs about it on every form of media that reached me, I just figured I'd back off and let other folks talk about it. I'm all 9/11'd out.
I will, however, say this piece.
As anti-war as I am, and as much as I disagree with most of the Bush Administration's policies, I believe that the attack on Afghanistan after the 9/11 attack was justified. The connection between the Taliban in Afghanistan was evident, and the Taliban's failure to turn over Osama and company was the catalyst for the massive retaliatory strike against them. That said, I will say again and again that Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attack, nor did Iraq have any connection to al-Qaida. None. No WMD's, no joint effort to attack America, nothing. While I mourn the death of those that died in the World Trade Centers and in the planes that were used in the attack, I hardly think that the US response since our attack on Afghanistan has been reasonable or justified.
