No, I am not an anarchist, I am a retired engineer and I believe in the capitalist system and the exactness of Ohms law, mathematics and science. My patriotism is for the people, the geography and the Constitution of this great country. I have no tolerance for counterproductive political manipulation, mismanagement, lies, or incompetence and that is why I have no trust or respect for the fraudulent Bush administration or for its bogus war of choice. None of that has anything to do with whether or not I identify with any political party or ideology, so you would be wrong if you think this is coming from any kind of liberal extremism.
A dialog opened here could make a fascinating discussion, but first, you should try to give up any ideas you may have that conservatives and Republicans are all good and Democrats and liberals are all bad. They are like Fords and Chevrolets. They have all had good years and bad years. And you should try to accept some other facts now in evidence.
1. Bush lied the US into an unnecessary war. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. The 9-11 attackers were primarily from the US "ally" Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden was and probably still is in Afghanistan. The Bushies ignored the Presidential Daily Briefing of August 7, 2001, entitled "Bin Laden determined to strike in the US."
2. There were no WMDs in Iraq. The uranium from Niger was a hoax based on forged Italian documents. The Bushies either knew this or should have known it. It was well known by intelligence agencies but was squelched because it didn't fit the Bush administration agenda of making war for profit.
3. Saddam Hussein, bad as he was, had no significant alliance with Al-Qaida or with religious extremists.
And if you think of yourself as a conservative, make a true comparison of traditional conservative values of efficiency and integrity with the non-values of the neo-cons. An honest examination should make it clear to anyone that there is far more con than conservatism in the failed neo-con ideology.

We are fighting a war on terror, not just Al Queda. As long as the tactic of terror proves to be effective it will contiued to be used by those to advance their respective adjendas. It was well known that Saddam was a sponsor of terror. He paid a reward to the families of homicide bombers in Israel. He gave safe haven to some well known terrorists of days past and allowed terrorist training camps to operate within his borders.
While Saudi Arabia is a tenuous ally of the US one must realize that the monarchy there has had no control over the rabid Islamists that operated in the sparsely populated regions of that country. Since 911 the royal family has begun to take control of the extremists within. If this were not the case why were there repeated Al queda attacks within Saudi Arabia??
Bin Laden is in western Pakistan and Musharraf does not have the balls and internal support to clean out that region. He is in a position much like the royal family in Saudi. They both tread a fine line trying to avoid antagonizing the extermists within. Were it up to me I would have put a 50 killiton nuke on the Tora Bora complex. That aside, one must remember Bush inherited Bin Laden from Clinton. Clinton had numerous opportunities (8 years worth) to kill or capture this rabid pig but did not act on them. And who prior to 911 could have ever envisioned that type of attack??
You now have the ball d2. I will address your other points if I get a lucid response here.
