You talk about my arguments lacking "context or historical fact," yet you present us with a reason for the war that I've not heard mentioned by anyone else and you talk constantly about the war being about making an example of countries that support terrorism. In fact, there is more credible evidence to show that Saddam refused Bin Laden's request for assistance than there is that he harboured and supported terrorists. Not even the Bush administration has tried to justify the invasion in this way, yet you present it as fact.
You say that any country that supports terrorism, regardless of the presence of oil, would be invaded, yet there are plenty of other countries (that don't have oil) that have been named by the Bush administration as being countries that harbour and support terrorists that were not invaded. And at least one of them has nukes. Yet the real problem were Saddam's missiles that couldn't even leave Iraqi airspace unless they were launched at the border and his refusal to help Bin Laden?
I'm sorry, I just see no logic or reason behind your justification of the invasion. So I would agree that maybe we shouldn't continue on this.
