First we went into Afghanistan to stop the rise of Al-Qaeda and remove the stronghold of the Taleban. Granted it was a worthwhile exercise, but it's still unfinished business.
Next we go after Iraq, cause Dubya wanted to accomplish his personal vendetta against Saddam. It worked with toppling Saddam, but the country is now in disarray and our men and women are being sacrificed for a senseless war. All excuses to go in were all but lies, and now there's no way of turning back from the mess we have created.
And now we have on the horizon, Iran. Yes our biggest enemy from the 1980's is rearing its ugly head by trying to enrich uranium, ultimately creating a nuclear device. A big threat in that Iran could supply this material to any terrorist faction and all hell could break loose is somewhat of a reality.
Now according to the BBC we are now finding out that the US government has put in a contingency plan to attack Iran, IF it doesn't yield to our demands. The attack could also be launched if there is a link between the terrorist activities in Iraq and Iran. Rightfully so, but this makes this 'war' a neverending battle. Quite sad.
So that brings me to the biggest question in regards to our current Middle East adventure......where did Al Qaeda go in all of this???? Wasn't that our main reason for the war on terrorism?
