Please explain (i) why it was just, and (ii) why we were obligated.

Im not a rocket scientist,but Im not completely dumb either.I was a news junky,a political junky during that time more than I am now.I campaigned for Bush,that's how much I supported him.


The media has nothing to do with pressing WMD's and Lies,he and his administration made the case for Iraq based on 9-11.

Before I go on,I believe the Gulf war was just,we were opposing a direct attack on a soverign nation,we had the U.N support,we were doing the right thing.The problem is we never went home after we did that war and that led to our terrorist situation today in part.


The media may play a part in propaganda but Bush went on TV and said himself after 9-11.

Here, but ive also explained at length that I think it is a grave security concern for the US to ensure the free flow of oil out of the ME. Saddams attack on our ally,threatning posture in the region and torching hundres of oil wells proved to be enough of a threat that we had to take aggressive action. We were just in running him out of Kuwait and also to enforce the terms of surrender

If the Iraqis invaded America and killed Bush, then said they would be staying for the next 100 years, how would YOU feel?

Worth destroying a nation and killing the citizenry so that we can steal it?

Ever read Stars & Stripes? Have you spent any time in the military?

Might want to do a little research there, the US gave Iraq the go ahead.

Did you miss the part that war was not declared, or that we invaded a sovereign country based on known lies?

Why? It’s their oil, they can do what they want with it. We’re the biggest consumers in the world, that gives us the right to kill and pillage?
