I never said there weren't terrorists. Don't try to twist my words. Yes I do believe there is a "conspiracy" by the powerful and wealthy(not only in the USA) to increase their wealth and power at the expense of us "plebes". I never said terrorism isn't a threat. But a war on terrorism isn't a winnable war in my opinion. There will always be people who believe in a cause so fervently that they are willing to resort to terrorist tactics. The war in Iraq had little or nothing to do with terrorism.

I gave you a few reasons why I believe the powerful politicians would want a war in Iraq. I can't speak for them personally and probably wouldn't believe them if they told us why we are really there. Why do you think we are there? To free the Iraqii people? We already know the politicians lied to us about their reasons for invading Iraq. Why should they need to lie to us if their motives were genuinely good?
