The reason we STOPPED iraq from invading Kuwait was it was bad for the region... not exactly a safe or stable climate when you have a dictator who invades a basically army-less nation because of a drilling right dispute.

We never and will never Invade Iraq... we originally DROVE them from kuwait and stopped once they had left... UN sanctions were put in place to prevent him from amassing weapons to do the same or worse again... he has overtly spat in the face of both the american gov. as well as international inspectors and forces.. He CONSTANTLY shoots at our planes while they attempt to maintain the "no fly zone".

This was tolerated during the clinton administration because clinton wanted nothing more than to avoid having his name tied to that mess.

Bush Jr. obviously has some personal feelings on the point plus with the attacks of 9/11 we are forced to stop assuming we are safe in our own country and start identifing and dealing with threats to our safety.

Whether or not we are justified in our action, it is action which IS desperately wanted by at least a small majority of Iraqi's.

And one which I think that NOW STARTED should be left to itself as OUR or ANYONE else's complaints will do nothing more than hurt the morale of our troops... It's not un-american to protest however it is selfish and in WAYS... un patriotic... once our armed forces are engaged we must support the troops. and unforunately that does include not questioning the motives or reasoning of the war.

Imagine a soldier pondering a comment someone made about the bad side of the war instead of concentrating on doing the best possible job protecting themselves and their fellow soldiers.

People have a problem forseeing the repercutions of their actions some times... look at the post up about the guy who was a part of "operation human shield"... I mean here's a kid/guy who's willing to give up his life ALL for something that is in his HEAD... he's protecting people who want him the hell out of there so the US can hurry up and bomb the piss out of them...

Protestors should think more about what they're protesting and WHY... to many people just jump on the alternative bandwagon and protest crap and screw things up which would otherwise HELP the world...

All protestors do is hinder progress one way or the other... For better or for worse.. they don't know what's the best idea or what we should do but they KNOW we shouldn't be doing this or that.....

I'm all for labor protests or any group which actually has a counter plan... but the majority of protestors are just bored kids who have nothing better to do or be mad about so the turn protesting into their pasttime.
