war in Iraq

[Super Dave]

As for this war having to do with politics, I do feel as though that's like comparing law and morality.  There are a whole lot of issues where it is just "right" to do this.  Right for the people of Iraq, right for the Middle east, and right for the safety of the world.  Would you disagree?  

If twelve years of diplomacy isn't enough, how much is?

In hind sight?  Was it right, people?  In a matter of days, much was accomplished.  

How many people died during the "peace" that was the twelve years of diplomatic solutions?

Saddam is evil and should be dealt with. However... who made President Bush king of the world? Why can't the Middle East take care of this itself? Will this declaration of war lead to terrorist acts from other factions? What about Korea? It's not that simple. I'll go wherever I'm told to go. I just hope it doesn't create more problems than it fixes.

Looks like the North Korean's have backed down because President Bush and his people were willing to sacrifice their political longevity to do what was right in Iraq.  

Acts of terrorism?  Well, we found terrorist camps in Iraq?  How about the leader of the terrorists that killed the wheel chair bound Jewish American man on that cruise ship.  Gee, he was found in Baghdad.

Now, Syria is cooperating, and Iraqi's CAN protest in Iraq.

not to get too specific, but i did say presidents who started wars.... Wilson didnt start WW1, we just joined it a few months before it was over... FDR didnt start WW2, once again, we joined it after it had started.... and Korea was a UN  action, Truman volunteered troops to help... (AP history worked for me! lol ) not to be too specific though.  :)

OOPS, I missed this one.

None of these presidents started the said wars, but they were full participants.  Wilson was fully aware of what was going on.  The United States was able to actually supply both sides with supplies early in the war.  Without General John J Pershing and the American Expeditionary Forces under OUR command, it would have went on until when ever.  We finished it.

FDR...  there is debate whether Japan was manuvered into attacking us at Pearl Harbor.  Regardless, we were involved in the effort.  Flying Tigers in China, support to allied countries.

Korea...  A UN action...  Because we told them to and Russia did nothing to block it in the UN...a curious question all on it's own.

Regardless, all of these presidents had the opportunity to deal with the issues diplomatically.  However, in the interest of peace, war offered the best opportunity for peace.

Ass-kicking by the US...good.  Saddam and terrorists...bad.
