Wolf, not true. Defending doesn’t mean staying put and repelling attacks. It also includes counterattacks, going after the attackers no matter how far they flee. But that doesn’t mean attacking everyone along the way, you don’t like, when they’re not involved with the attackers.
Afghanistan was a logical target and would have rounded up Bin Laden if it weren’t bungled by politicians that wouldn’t commit the forces necessary to seal the borders before rounding them up.
Attacking Iraq just because they were the baddest army in the middle east (except Israel), to put the fear of Bush in the rest, is just plain aggression. The thing we claim to be against.
