It's a no win situation. The UN is a bunch of wussies who don't want to offend anyone so we had to go it alone. But it wasn't just Bush, Congress and the Senate voted that we should go in. Both democrats and republicans voted that we should go in. But all of the sudden the dems turn around and say it was a bad idea so they could get a majority elected. Whatever, it will backfire. I just hope they don't try to remove the troops before the Iraqi people are ready to stand on their own.

If you are so worried about Hitler-esque cleansing, take a gander at Africa. There are SEVERAL nations killing millions of people a year. Not like 1 or 2, like 10-11 million people. But hey...why go there?
Republicans keep coming up with distractions.
We went into Iraq to (fill in the blank)
1- Saddam had WMD
So does N.Korea, and they are testing them and threating to use them.
2- Saddam is killing his own people
Several countries in Africa are doing the same, by the millions
3- Saddam backs terror
So does Saudi Arabia, Parts of Africa, Syria, Palastine, Lebanon....
Keep coming up with reasons that we went in, and I could find you a better way of doing things. We all went in on it because we were all duped. We were behind our hurt nation, behind our "great" president, telling the world that he mus tbe stopped. We belived in him. As Lewis Black said in his new show, "We gave him a lot of rope, and he hung all of us with it."
I would like one solid reason, outside the ones listed above, why we picked Iraq to remove from power, when we all know there are far worse enemies.
