too bad the goverment in iraq is stabalizing right now or that would be a good point.
and civilians didn't ahev to worry about terrorists and American soldiers.
you talk about our troops as if they go around randomly killing people.
also, violence in iraq is also down.
Thousands of civilians have died because of this war, be it from terrorism, American military accidents, lack of food, illness, poverty, etc.
yeah, its called war, those things happen in wars.
war is always an awful thing.
You can't say that he was pure evil.
yes i can, everything and anything good he ever did was to benifit himself.
Yeah, we stayed in a place we should have never went to in the first place, costing absurd amounts of money, time, and manpower.
we've been over this, we went in because we thought there was a suffient threat.
That's just fucking stupid. There was a chance that Russia was going to Nuke us for decades, but we never had to resort to invading.
thats because they already definitly had nukes, that was a cold war and it was a horible thing.
thats one of the reasons we invaded, to avoid another cold war.
There's a chance I'll win the lottery tomorrow. There's a chance that I will get cysts under both of my nipples by next month. It doesn't mean it's going to happen.
yeah, but iraq having a nuke was more likely then all those things, and a bigger risk too.
Yeah, but that doesn't justify the whole.
its not supposed too.
Which was being prepared to be carried out before the war, until we decided to rush in headfirst like morons.
if they had nukes, they would have used them while we were carrying out the investigation.
that would have left us wide open.
That's fucking absurd.
yeah, because it was a joke.
also, just because your military is deep pushed back, doesn't mean you can't build a nuke that will hit your enemy.
but several other countries have the capability to do the same.
things have become a stronger political issue, things have become tighter and harder.
otherwise, iran would probebly be invaded by now.
Saddam was toppled in a few moths, yes. However, we continued to fight. Just because we're not fighting the enemy we thought we would be doesn't mean that we're not at war.
it does mean we're protecting civilians from terrorists.
