The Seattle Times: Editorials & Opinion: Reasons not to attack Iraq
Have we forgotten our real purpose here? Supporters of war say 9/11 changed everything. No, it didn't. If we isolate and examine Saddam's actions over the past four years (since inspectors left), we see that based on his actions, 9/11 does not happen. Why? Because he had nothing to do with it.

But somebody did, and they are the targets we should be focusing our sights on. As President Bush said over a year ago, "We'll get the people who did this and bring them to justice."

Fine. Let's do just that. Let's find Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar and irreversibly cripple al-Qaida — then we can go after Saddam and not be worried about al-Qaida launching attacks in Buffalo and Seattle while we launch ours in Baghdad.
