There is so very much to take issue with in this short statement.
There was very little threat to the U.S from Iraq, at least no more so than from many other countries. As for the "Justice" we are imposing, perhaps when viewed from outside our borders, it is not quite so obvious. Justice is a relative term, relative to the observer. To most outside entities, we are not the benign hand of justice you portray, but a mix of blind aggression, and corrupt deceiver.
Before you all attempt to tear me apart as a liberal, America hater, understand these are not My views, but the observations I have made of what a large portion of the world sees.
