We Invaded the Wrong Country!

[Upchurch]

Does that mean we should send the bill to al Qaeda in Iraq (mostly foreigners) for rebuilding the mosques, oil pipelines, police stations, etc., etc., etc. that they've blown up since the day Saddam's armies ceased resistance?

Well, yeah, if that were at all feasible. The point is that Iraq is our responsibility until it can get back on its feet again.

eta: I take it back. While the point that Iraq's reconstruction is our responsibility is a valid one, the point of the thread is that we made a mistake by invading a country that was not a significant threat to our safety. Now, a more genuine threat seems to have presented itself and there isn't much we can do about, as over extended as we are.

Oops.
