In theory, yes. Saddam committed genocide towards innocents, possessed hundreds of chemical weapons which he himself stated that he wouldnt hesitate to use, and was an all-around meanie. Iraq itself, despite lacking direct contact with Al Qaeda, was a terrorist haven. Saddam would not comply with UN resolutions/sanctions against him. He broke international laws.
That being said, it's been poorly managed by Republicans and poorly funded by Democrats. Political leaders have been undercutting and second-guessing our troops every step of the way, which has damaged morale, both national and overseas.

I agree its a f****ing mess with no easy soultion. As to critters response. Oh if Iraq was Germany or Japan who were aggresser nations unified and misled led by their rulers .Ready to rejoin the civilized world after defeat. In some way I agree with the president if we leave Iraq to sort out its own mess at some point I wouldn't be suprised if a terrorist group would want some revenge for the U.S involvement. But that may happen anyway. We broke it .now what the F**K are we going to do

I thought we went in perhaps a couple of years too soon, with armed forces structured poorly for the job. Too many heavies, too few military police and civil affairs people. Since we went in, I've been less than thrilled about some of the details. But the strategy is sound, and if we don't give up and become isolationist again, things should yet work out OK.

i'm with "Virginia Gentleman" up there with regards to the bushy section. yet I particularly disagree with the conflict simply by fact: a million). Iraq posed no danger to america 2). we don't would desire to unfold democracy international extensive. chilly-conflict-era reasoning shouldn't nonetheless shop on with. 3). WMD danger in Iraq exchange into susceptible while in comparison with different international locations (North Korea, Pakistan, etc). Iraq did not presently very own WMD and allowed inspectors into the country..they grew to become up not something Iraq exchange into rather not something yet a distraction. we would desire to continually have focused completely on Afghanistan and the actual Al Qaeda danger, yet as a exchange we've been fed strains approximately democracy, terror, and issues that truly had not something to do with Iraq. It have been given to the element the place many human beings in u.s. wrongly believed that Al Qaeda exchange into in Iraq, and that we had to by some potential "combat the terrorists" in Iraq to maintain them removed from us here. And all of that selection into merely organic farce.

Yes. It will hurt in the short run, but will be very beneficial in the long run. Just look at how Germany and Japan turned out.

Never did. It's hard to tube feed people democracy when they've hated each other for 2,000 years. Oh, and of course because they had NOTHING to do with 9/11..

Yep, I do. And I also think that we should leave U.N., since they haven't really done anything for us.
