>>Twenty years from now we are all going to be saying what a good thing it was >>that the U.S. kicked Saddam out of Iraq and helped Iraqi democracy to >>flourish. I'm not concerned about polls saying that most people in the U.S. >>and Europe think the war was not worth it. Most people can't see beyond next >>week much less next generation. That's why we have leaders.
Or twenty years from now we will still be fighting terrorist, because we have created an even greater hatred of the West by invading a sovereign nation without being provoked, and our status in the world will have eroded even more because we gave the world the finger and told them we were going to war with or without them because we could manufacture enough evidence to justify it to ourselves. And after all we are the only ones that count. What are the reasons we went into Iraq? WMD? That was a bust. But then again we knew that before we attacked. Al Qeada? There has never been any evidence of ties between Sadam and Bin Laden, or between the Al Qeada and Iraq. Nor has there been evidence of Iraq or Sadam planning or participating in terrorist activities against the USA or US citizens. Sadam was an evil dictator who held political prisoners, killed his only people and used the chemical and biological weapons we (the USA) gave him against the Kurds. Well the use of chemical and biological weapons was over 10 years ago. What the hell did we do to help those people then? Nothing. If being a mean guy or having evil totalitarian leadership is enough reason to invade a country then maybe we ought to take a look at our relations with about 20% of the nations we do business with on a daily basis, we can start with China, India, Pakistan, Israel, half of South East Asia, and half of South America. How many of those countries imprison, kill or torture people for having different political views. How many other Islamic Nations treat women much as they we treated in Iraq? Or maybe we might want to revisit our lack of concern for the people of Rwanda in 1994, the Cambodians in the late 1970's and early 1980's, Darfor NOW. Oh wait we didn't care about the Kurds until 10 years later when we could use them as an excuse to go in and attack a country for the benefit of our President and his supporters, Halliburton, oil, etc.. Besides a little wartime spending does amazing things for the economy. But please tell me what are the myriad of reasons justifying our invasion of Iraq? I can come up with three: WMD Terrorist ties Evil Dictator None of those warrant invasion against the will of the UN and the rest of the world.
