<P>Mr. Steed raises this question:</P>
<P>' "preemptive strikes" Now there is the question. Had we known about the plans for 9/11 and known they were concentrated in a single country which would not support our going after them, would you have supported a preemptive strike? In other words, is the problem lack of evidence that concerns you about Iraq or preemptive strikes in particular?'</P>
<P>As far as 'preemptive attacks' as a rationale for this war is concerned, I do have a problem with the lack of evidence that Iraq is planning to attack us or is linked to those who have attacked us. </P>
<P>Another concern is that we will end up occupying Iraq and controlling their oil fields. I think this is going to encourage terrorist attacks against us. When that happens, where will our use of 'preemptive attacks' lead us? Will we bomb the entire region? Where will we stop?</P>
<P>Ultimately, I am concerned about both an attack on Iraq in particular, and preemptive attacks in general. I do not believe we will be safer in the long run if we go to war with Iraq. </P>
