Iraq is the historical pivot point in the Middle East. There may be questions as to the rationale for the war, but no one can argue that a "democratic-ish" Iraq front and center in the Middle East wouldn't be a powerful force for generational change for the region.

The invasion had nothing to do with the saving of the Iraqi people.

because we feel a responsiblity to protect the iraqui people untill they have adaquate sequirity forces. alsio we have an interest in them succeeding with a new democratic government, as this will help stabalize the region.we try to spread democracy , to gain allies, bring peace to the world, and to fight oppression. a stable middle east means lower oil prices , less violence and hopefully less terrorism.

I think we have given them enough help. There is no helping them. They had a dictator and seem to need one.
