If it is not only against al-qaeda then why is everyone pissed about Iraq?? Saddam terrorized his people and the Kuwaiti's for years. How is that not the war on Terror???

It is against all terrorists throughout the world.
People are angry about Iraq because:
a) They do not like Bush; &
b) They think that we should just attack Al-Quada as they are the group that attacked us.
The fact is we have to get them all or they just re-organize and attack us again. Attacking Iraq was absolutely nessesary, despite what the Liberal media wants you to think.

In today's society, you can wait three minutes in a line for a burger and say "whats taking so long?" This is because we want instant results. People wanted "instant results" when we went into Iraq. After just a few days, the government had collapsed completely, and everyone assumed it was over. The fighting, killing, everything.
The war on terror is against ALL terrorists. Its an ongoing battle that has no end anytime soon. It seems America has forgotten what happened on that Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001. We think "if we leave them alone, they'll leave us alone." But thats not how it works, I'm afraid.

Because Iraq was no threat to the US. The US is not the world's policeman. And what about the terrorism committed by countries like the US and Israel?

It's war on terror against those forces affecting the US directly or their interests. Saddam didn't affect the US in either way.
