Hey Don, do you think we should have gone into Iraq?




Yes

This is another place where I disagree with many Libertarians, and my opposing
opinion has been published in the national newsletter.

And I really don't care if we found WMD's or not.

There are two world views that support entirely different paths. One is that we
are engaged in World War 4 (WW3 having been the cold war) against
Islamofascism. Islamofascism is not a country, it is a politcal movement that
has the support of some fraction of the Moslem world in numerous Moslem
countries.

If you are of the view that we are at war with Islamofascism, as I am, then
there is no need to justify Afghanistan, Iraq or any other location the war
takes us, independently, any more than we needed independent justification to
invade Tunisia or Normandy in WW2. We fought the Nazi's where we found them and
we have to fight the Islamofascists and their supporters and hosts wherever we
find them now.

If you do not see us as being at war, then it makes sense to analyse each move
independently rather than as part of a larger strategery.

Choose your world view. After that, either Iraq is a brilliant stroke of
strategery or it is an unjustified invasion of a soveriegn nation.

I believe we are at war, and that if we fail to win it decisively now, our
grandchildren will wind up trading nukes with a much larger and more advanced
Islamofascist threat.
