The terror seat was Afghanistan.

Although Saddam Hussein is a frightful tyrant, he posed no threat to the United States when we entered the war. George W. Bush&#8217;s arrogant actions to jump into Iraq when he had no plan how to get out have alienated the United States from our most trusted allies and weakened us immeasurably around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080516121233\/http:\/\/www.truthout.org\/cgi-bin\/artman\/exec\/view.cgi\/29\/6803\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Tribune, Elmer L.
