Not my perception at all. I wasn't afraid; nor do I even know anyone that was. My chief concern was that people would get killed in Iraq and that has unfortunately been realized.

There must be a lot of chickens in Virginia.

Well, yea, people were afraid. Afraid of another Al Qaeda strike, just as bad as 9/11. And the Bush admin played on those fears to make a case for Iraq, by implying links between Saddam and Bin Laden and making it seem that as long as Saddam was in power, we'd be at risk of another 9/11. That's how they largely sold the war to people. Without 9/11 (or any other theoretical massive terrorist attack to take its place), do you think it would have been possible to go to war with Iraq?

You believe such a theory would have merit? Good Lord ... Well, more merit than the "controlled demolition" conspiracy theory. The "let it happen" conspiracy theory is much harder to prove or disprove. I don't personally believe it, myself. But, like I said, it's totally possible just not very probable. Just like it's totally possible that Obama, working as an inside Muslim terrorist, helped orchestrate it. Not very probable, of course.
