With the bombings in London can't we all agree that the Iraq War was a bad idea? Secondly, though Paris has slightly more mistique, can't we agree that London is a better location for the 2012 Olympics? Paris has had the Olympics more times than any other city in the modern era, so shouldn't the english get their chance?

Iraq War:

I have no doubts that America and the world as a whole is much safer without Saddam. In fact, I think removing Saddam and ushering in a democratic government into a formerly hostile and despotic area is President Bush's greatest accomplishment (granted there aren't many to choose from). However, the Iraq War exacerbated America's problems abroad and diverted resources away from the REAL WAR ON TERROR!!!!! Yes, the War on Terror (which is a "good" and necessary "war" that must be won) has NOTHING to do with the Iraq War.

I'll submit more talking points 2008 in the future.
