I was thinking last night after Bush's speech. Bush is trying to save the middle east. By going to war and confronting terrorist now in the middle east we are contributing to the future security of the world.

If we just continued the way we were going prior to 9-11, we would eventually have seen a mega-attack on the US.

What would happend if terrorsit set off a chemical, biological, dirty bomb attack in a major city? New York, Chicago, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Houston.

What if there were tens of thousands, maybe hundrededs of thousands killed and injured??

I think the outrage would be so, that the population in the US would be in the streets demanding the complete destruction of the middle east. We are a nation that dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Japan, turning the middle east into a parking lot would not be beyond us if such a terrorist attack would happen.

By intervening now, we can hopefully combat terrorism and those responsible before a major attack like this is commited upon our fellow citizens. Bush is trying to handle business while there is wiggle room, and put down terrorism before it turns into a situation that no President can control.
