WMDS = not there

And yes, I've taken PSC101, and it is their responsibility. We did not go in there to help the Iraqi people; don't buy into that propoganda. We went in there because we had intel that Iraq had WMDs (cmon, we warned them 8 months before invading, I bet they moved them). We know there were terrorist training camps in Iraq, Sadaam hated us, we thought he had WMDs, his own people hated him (for the most part), and he had proven his ability and likelyhood of attacking another nation given the power to (Kuwait) AND ignoring multinational sanctions. C'mon, what more justification do you really need?

Fight the good fight? What the FUCK does that mean?

Attack those that attacked us; gee, we are. It is called Afghanistan. If you don't understand why we can't send in troops to Afghanistan like we did Iraq then you have no basis to even argue this point, so give it up. If you really need explaining to, just ask (or google it).

Anyway, to avoid this getting too nasty, I will say that I see justification for this war, for it is there. If you choose to ignore/deny it, or just don't agree with it, then that is your decision and at your discretion.

How is Iraq attacking Kuwait any of our business? I like all of this "we had intel" and "we thought". Hey...suprise suprise, we were wrong. That happens a lot when you make shit up. I'm well aware of why we went into Afghanistan...and I supported that (I'm not too keen on regime change, but overall it was a good effort). Quick, clean, and relatively short. Just like Iraq. Oh...wait...no.

A big part of the word "justification" is "justice". I don't think a bunch of "well we thought..." is justice when it turns out you're wrong. Iraq posed no direct threat to us and any indirect threats sure as hell weren't deminished by invading them. As for the rest of the world...let them fend for themselves for a change. Not that I mean to sound insensitive, but I don't see why it's always the U.S. that has to be the one sending troops to die for other's mistakes.

Look Wren...just because I think one thing and you think another doesn't mean either of us is right...but it's hilarious that you think you are. You wanna kill 'em all? That's fine. I think it's ridiculous. But whatever. Don't get so focused on being right that you lose the forest from the trees.
