You're now basing this on speculation. And I'm assuming you mean Iraq...who we still have yet to find ties with al qaeda. But if you mean afghanistan, I wouldn't say they are hell bent on acquiring nuclear weapons...not the country at least.
And if you mean Iran, we don't know if he wants to creat nuclear weapons. Do we assume? Yes, it's very possible. But now, your argument should be, why didn't we invade them in the first place? Oh wait...we are already spending billions on Iraq....we're all out of funds and we can't invade any more countries.
I think you are trying to say Bush is a bully but you are wrong.
You assume wrong. And even if Saddam did not have ties to Al Qaeda he still supported terrorists giving sanctuary to Abu Nidal and Abu Musab Al Zarqawi and paying Palestinian suicide bomber families $25,000. That is enough links to terrorism for me. Afghanistan has 2 products, opium and war. No way they were getting nukes.
As for Iran that was who I was reffering to. With Ahmadinejad's rhetoric and goals of highly enriched uranium to me that is a clear threat and indication of him acquiring nuclear weapons. Is he stupid enough to use them? I am not sure. As for a war with them I support it. The problem is that the EU is again showing no backbone and is backing down from sanctions. Saddly it will take some form of Iranian action to provoke a response from them.
