lol @ how partisan this poll is.
The answer is no. Ending it does not excuse starting it.
Of course not. He created the entire mess for no reason.
Mmmmm. Of course the massive human rights violations, and Saddam's interest in procuring WMD'S had nothing to do with it. Or the country's covert support for Al Qaeda.
Yes well hopefully he had a lot more on his hit-list, starting with Syria and Iran.
I wasn't aware the last one was a proven fact. The first two I think accounts for alot of countries, but oh right, Iraq was supposed to be an "example" for the rest of the Middle East. That worked out well, didn't it?
Please use the quote function properly, don't make it appear as though I share your warmongering sentiments.
Oops. Are you the kind of person who wouldn't have supported war against Nazi Germany, as it constituted warmongering. Because believe me, I know left-libertarians who do.
That isn't worth a response. Comparing Nazi Germany to Hussein's Iraq in relation to the threat they posed to the US and the rest of the world is just beyond ridiculous.
Well you say that now, but did anyone think Germany would be a threat to the world in 1933.
This would be reasonable to say about Iraq in 1991- not only invading Kuwait and having the 4th largest military on the planet, but also on the cusp of developing nukes and positioned to invade Saudi Arabia.
But Iraq in 2003 was a broken and frankly unscary thing.
