>It's funny that even after the Russians, who were against the war, came out >and said that the Iraqis were trying to attack us, people still feel this >way. The fact that they didn't want to join the war along with so many other countries should have been a sign that this was a mistake. We have 2 counties right now that are clear and present dangers, Iran and North Korea. I'm not saying Iraq may not have turned bad, but at the time we went in it wasn't as bad as Iran and North Korea are now. We should have rallied for the world's support instead of overextended our economy and our military to the point that we are not even able to take out Iran if they try to develop nuclear bombs. We're the boy that cried wolf, and now that there really are some wolves everyone is hesitant to help us.
>After the tons of radioactive materials removed from the country. This was for medical useage. Could be used for dirty bombs, but not for a nuclear bomb. Just because you have radioactive material doesn't mean you're going to do something about it. >After their firing on American plane doing their UN sanctioned duty. Wow, so that's what we went to war for? Yeah this was a problem, but no reason for us to have gone to war. >After them trying to kill an American President. This was a plan, and over 10 years old by the time they found out about it. Do you think other countries do not have these plans? >What would it take to send you to war man? Well this is tricky isn't it? We have countries that developed nuclear bombs recently (India and Pakistan). India is a democracy and Pakistan is a dictatorship and we didn't invade them, was it because they don't present a danger to us? We went to war in Iraq when we thought they were developing WOMD, but were never able to prove it and we have countries that are clearly touting their ability to make nuclear bombs and we're not doing anything about it. So my answer is, I don't know. I agreed with the Afghanistan invasion which the majority of Americans and the rest of the world did. Iraq is a mistake and I don't know why we don't have enough people seeing that. They were never a direct threat to us and the examples you listed were not enough to go to war over. Why are we in NATO and the UN if we aren't going to listen to our allies?
