even if they had wmd's, it's not as tho we can just willfully attack every enemy who has them. and yes, i understand that they may have violated certain terms of surrender from gulf '91. but to the point that an invasion was needed? warranted? justified? the economy has since tanked, the war continues, iran is the big dog in town, and possibly already with, or soon to have nuclear weapons. all this because bush 2 ignored everything that everyone knew would happen, just to have his war. his cowboy, shoot first, ask questions later mentality is what caused many problems we have. and it's not just iraq, afganistan is a huge issue as well. i understand some of the intent, but that doesn't excuse the horrible mess we're in because of wanting a war that wasn't justifiable.
the biggest question when a leader wants a fight that he should ask himself-is it a winnable war? truly winnable, worth it, worth the lives?
