Because they're a major source of our imported oil. You can't attack the hand that feeds you, right? It's not a conspiracy, it's common sense.
The war in Iraq has nothing to do w/ terrorism: It's an obvious resource war. It's easy to keep the American public at bay by spinning the war and making it look like it has kept us safe from terrorism. Quite frankly, the only reason we haven't had another attack is because we have been lucky so far. I wouldn't attribute the lack of an attack to any politician, Democrat or Republican, that would be giving politicians too much credit. They're all equally worthless, they only care about getting re-elected!
A really good point, Duke. I agree completely that the reason we have not been attacked again is not due any of this administrations shenanigans but because we have been purely lucky.
