You could try to argue that Iraq was some kind of threat to the US before we invaded, but the facts would prove you wrong.

Republicans have an ideological commitment to a "safe America." Unfortunately this ideal does not include providing fair educational and employment opportunities to its own citizens. Unfortunately, as one of the imbecile respondents already made the mistake of committing, most Republicans confuse those who are impoverished with those who are lazy. For example, consider the recent graduate from college with no student loans. They may be almost three months behind on their rent, have no medical insurance, and may have to file for assistance before their real job starts. Does that make them lazy? Nope? It just makes Republics stupid.

simple. Republicans are insane, or ignorant, or evil. Nothing they do makes sense unless you understand that.
We could have ended global poverty for the price tag of the iraq war and thus ended all serious cause for war and terrorism.
Republicans and particularly the project for a new american century
think tank is incredibly stupid and ill concieved.

why? because gov't is filled with testosterone-fueled rich old men. they want to punish the poor and disadvantaged by limiting social assisstance and they don't get the same adrenaline "hit" they get from passing bills that support the war.
"soft" issues like human rights and social support for women don't get respect from these guys because its so far outside their golf-and-country-club upbringings. They especially ignore and abuse human rights and are total hypocrits to say that the U.S. respects human rights because it doesn't!!!
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS:
Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.
