I do not think we went in to help the people, I think its an after thought to make us feel better about it. Maybe we should have stopped him before he killed his people not after he was realatively controled. Maybe we should not have incited revolution and promised support we never delivered.
If you want my support to use our might to end a peoples suffering you will most likely get it. I think the evidence is clear that the intelligence was flawed and it used in a misleading ways to gain support for an invasion.
I was not clear, and this post is likely just as confusing, sorry.
>??? I guess I just do not understand your logic here. I guess we should have continued to ignore the horrific acts of Saddam Husseim and allowed him to continue on killing innocents? What about them? Who was going to stand up for them and do something? I guess it should have been anyone but us? Those are not scare tactics, they are reality. I really don't know the number of innocents killed by us during the Iraqi conflict. I do know that Saddam killed around a million. Which is the lessor evil? Is either less? Can they be compared? Do you do nothing because additional damage may be done if you act?

>I could understand your comments if you believed we should not act at all regardless and you believed in staying out of other countries affairs regardless, but you state instead horrific acts do little to motivate us to do anything and yet we are wrong for acting also? I guess I just do not understand.
