At least the country was relatively stable though.

And liberators suck.

I agree in a sense that we are liberators.

But there are other people out there who are living under brutal dictators.

There are other humanitarian issues which were graver than in Iraq.

And there are other nations who posed MUCH more of a threat than Iraq.

So again im going to say that it wasn't necessary.


Its kind of a mute point though right now. Obviously we are there, obviously instead of wasting time talking about whether or not we should be there, we should be discussing solutions for what is going to happen in the future.

So yes, im guilty of harping on the past a bit on this issue.

I can't agree with you more here, but I think we should still be proud of eliminating the evil within Iraq, as far as face-value goes. It still wouldn't necessarily be my first choice, if I was judicious enough not to be impulsive. I wish we could be everywhere at once making sure that dictators never come to power anywhere, but for some reason we aren't.

You're right. We should have enslaved them.

You should know by now my stance on the situation.

We shouldn't have touched Iraq.

Yeah im proud of the job that we did. Not our politicians mind you, but the troops.

I just ask the question "was it worth it" and after looking at everything I dont ever come to the conclusion of "yes it was".

Maybe in the long run it will be, certainly if we can get a free and peaceful Iraq that is a U.S. ally in the region then yes it would be a great success.

But I just dont see that happening.
