My Other Rant: Okay, you want hypocricy? How about this:

When we went into Iraq, the media tried to convince us it was stupidity on the President's part. Just a bone-headed decision.

Why?

Because there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. Al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein may as well have been Coke and Pepsi for all their connection in Middle Eastern culture. Going into Iraq was like invading the Boy Scouts of America because a gang of boys the same age had robbed a liquor store.

Only now, when Al-Qaida has blown up more people who were simply going about their business, we're supposed to believe it's because George Bush's invasion of Iraq is perceived as such a threat by Al-Qaida.

So which is it?
