Sorry that my previous response was beyond your mental capacity. We were discussing the consequences of 'not' invading Iraq. Iraq had plenty of capability to do us harm, more so than Afghanistan and their al-Qaeda terrorist training camps. By not invading, Saddam would have had three more years to pursue his various programs of terror.
It doesn't take much imagination to envision numerous Fedayeen or al-Qaeda terrorists entering this country legally or illegally. Our country has had liberal policies to allow Saudi and other Arabs to enter as students, most pursuing degrees in science and engineering. We have an uncontrolled border to the south for people to come across. Canada's lax 'multicultural' immigration policies have allowed terrorist groups to form there and have access through our northern border, evident in the recent Toronto arrests.
Now, imagine our intelligence gathering and law enforcement programs encumbered with so many 'civil rights' restrictions which make it impossible to track these people or monitor what they are up to. You've got all the ingredients necessary to allow some very spectacular terrorist attacks.
