Quote:The point is simple, in both wars with Iraq there was no imminent threat, even though they told us there was,
in the first war there was no threat, we went to liberate Kuwait. If we had let saddam take Kuwait, he prolly would have tried for Israel and so on. In todayâs war, our intelligence and those of Russia and the British, and one other one i forget. All said saddom had WMDs and he harbored terrorist. that is a very bad combo for some one like saddom. And if he really didn't have WMD's or anything to hide; he would have given full access to the UN inspectors or not have kicked them out in 98. He had every chance to comply before we attacked.
Quote:going to Iraq was a mistake because we never finished in Afghanistan and there has been almost no effort in looking for the real culprits, which are Osama and his lackeys. The biggest mistake was rushing to war with Iraq, right when Bush had the go-ahead, he went right for it, fudge international support to "defend our country" rofl.
Yeah I wish we did a little more Afghanistan too, but things are still going good there.(keep in mind, their will always be attacks even after Democracy has been set.) And we still have a lot of International support, its just the people that don't support it i.e fance, russia, is the support that would have hepled the most in saving american lives.
Quote:If we *really* wanted to free the Iraqi people, Bush's dad would've done it long ago, he had the chance and decided not to take it. He probably made the right decision too, since he probably knew what he was going to get himself into. I mean, just look at what's going on in Iraq today, the war isn't over, not really,
Different reasons for the first war, and that was a post 9/11 world too. different thinking was accuring back then....
