Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terrorism. Only left wingers want to make that connection.
The war in Iraq has to do with a bad regime being outted. The world had been dealing with that regime for 20yrs now. While some countries like France, Germany, and Russia where making money from the regime. Our country the USA was losing money enforcing the UN sanctions.
So if you look at it in that light, and realize support for terrorism only happens when people have nothing better to live for. Such as starving because your regime is taking all your countires resources to build palaces and who knows what else. Then you'd realize something needed to be done in Iraq.
And as far as this thread being concerned about the World hating the USA so much. It happens, we are the lone super power left that right there brews jealousy from outher countries. Also, the world didnt suddenly start hating us overnight because of Bush's foreign policy. They hated us for decades it has more do with our cultural values then foreign policy. However, in the Clinton years his policy, foreign included was fly under the radar. Don't get noticed for anything which is why him getting a blow job was so newsworthy. What else can you remember about his adminstration? Hell he conducted a war the Bosnia War without anybody much raising an eyebrow. So of course our allies are going to get a little testy when the current admistration changes that policy and starts making them do things they might not want to do...
