The US government's involvement with Saddam Hussein and other despots was shameful in many respects. But if you want to make that case, don't overstate it with bull**** propaganda. And, don't ignore the far worse actions of those outside the US out of political expediency because they opposed the latest war. No amount of "evidence will convince you that Bush's pre-emptive invasion of Iraq was "just". I believe one of the reasons for the invasion was to get control of Iraq's oil. Let me pose this question: Why didn't Bush invade North Korea? North Korea publically announced that it had operational nuclear weapons. Why wasn't this viewed by Bush as a direct threat to the national security of the US? Well, first of all, North Korea has no oil. North Korea has a HUGE standing army and could wipe out South Korea and Japan in a flash. For Bush, that would be too tough a war to fight. It is easier to go against a nation like Iraq whch had a mickey-mouse army, no air force, and no navy. |
