Again... What were the reasons for invading Iraq?
Why did we invade Iraq?
Want a REAL Threat? North Korea! Want to fight terror? Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Jordon (among others)! Want a strategic location? Afghanistan's good... oops, no oil! Want to liberate somebody? Cuba! No, I am NOT suggesting war with these nations. I'm suggesting that Iraq was the least of our worries, until Bush became President! Saddam Hussein had Iraq in their own little world. He was a wicked evil dictator, no doubt. But a threat to NOBODY but Iraqis. His Air Force was buried in the desert. His Armor units depleted during Desert Storm, his chemical weapons (evidently) destroyed during the 90's. His "Elite" Republican Guard... well, we know about their will, no backbone. Who we're fighting now are the Iraqi people and people (insurgents) from other countries that came there AFTER we invaded. Those are the SAME people that would have just as well gone into Afghanistan to fight us. In fact, after getting his camp destroyed in Afghanistan, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's militant group packed up and went to Iraq, where they commenced to beheading American citizens and Iraqis alike! This is also the time that al-Zarqawi pledged alliance with Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. al-Zarqawi and bin Laden hadn't been friends before this time. I guess maybe GW is more of a "uniter" (Bushism... the proper word being 'unifier') than I give him credit for being, huh? He's (*)(*)(*)(*) sure united the Islam extremist's, hasn't he?

I understand some of the reasons people pose for not going into Iraq in the first place, but that's a dead argument. I really don't see what the point is in leaving Iraq to be destroyed by terrorists when we could be making good of this and helping establish a new democracy. How would you feel if we left the people in New Orleans at the mercy of the elements stirred by the anarchy of the hurricane rather than aiding them and restoring order? We have an obligation now. Aren't liberals supposed to be for the spread of democracy vs. the spread of dictatorship and violence? Since when did we believe in leaving people in horrible situations, especially those we created? Are Iraqis not humans deserving of the protection and advancement we seek for other Americans? Nobody sent me an e-mail to notify me of this strange change in liberal philosophy.
