[QUOTE="swimfreak26, post: 564375, member: 544365"] If Iraq gets up and running and BECOMES USEFUL TO AMERICA then it was the right decision? Are you telling me that we have the right to go in to a country, disrupt their whole way of doing things (which was working fine if you asked the average Iraqi) just to benefit us in some way? Wow, that is the worst excuse for going to war that I've ever heard. To extend on this even further, setting aside the complete assinine nature of the statement, your reasoning still does not justify GOING to war. Bush told us that Iraq had WMDs which in my opinion, seeing how we have the largest stockpile in the world, is still not an excuse to go to war. Even on that point, however, he lied and we know that now. Next...We were - the general populas - led to thinking that Iraq had at least something to do with 9/11 OR terrorists, WRONG AGAIN! Iraq was a nation with a dictator, a dictator that did things differently than our christrian president thought was moral, and we bombed him for that reason paired with oil money. These two reasons are not suffiecient to go to war. Also, we are "liberating" the Iraqi people...it's just too bad that every liberation in the history of the world (out of the successful ones) has come from within. Liberation needs to be a desire of the majority before it can happen. The US could have aided if it was requested, but we have no right telling those people what they want. [/QUOTE]
