In what way? Those countries were invaded, and the U.S. came into the war to defend them. Iraq wasn't invaded by Saddam Hussein. He was a lunatic, but if our main reason was to "free the Iraqi people", why not invade North Korea and save those millions from starvation? Why not invade Somalia and restore order? Why didn't we invade the Democratic Republic of Congo when nearly 6 million people have perished there since 1998, the worst conflict since World War II?
Answer me that. |

I did not realize that getting the Iraqi's back into the Olympics was part of the war plan. I thought it was about fighting terrorists (who by the way are still bombing and thriving in AFGHANISTAN!!)
You are really reaching for a positive aren't you?
