The Expansionist

JOHN Podhoretz should be ashamed of himself for his outrageous assertion that "the war in Iraq was not only justified but necessary - as a pre-emptive action against a terrorist state that could have placed us in unimaginable jeopardy at some point in the near future". Iraq was NOT a terrorist state and there is no reason to believe it ever would have become so. The war was sold to the public as necessary to prevent Iraq from acquiring WMD and the means to deliver them to our homeland. There were no WMD and no way for Iraq to reach us from 6,000 miles away. For Podhoretz and his ilk now to suggest that tho Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, war against it was nonetheless necessary to prevent it from becoming a "terrorist state" some unspecified future someday is inexcusable slander. Iraq was NOT involved in any terrorism against us. The "war" was one-sided: U.S. aggression. There was no justification a year ago and there's none today.
