Bodyhammer,

Good and understandable reason not to invade N. KOrea, but what of the GOP who did not want anything to do with Bosnia-Serbia, or Africa or Iran (which if we were going to fight a war in the M/E Iran should have been first). Instead we chose a country we knew was totally weak, had no WMD's and allowed Iran to arm themselves and prepare.

Thank you, Bodyhammer for presenting the facts in a very non partisan understandable way.

Just pointing this out.

We ar not the world's police. When Clinton wanted to help end Bosnia and Mogadishu and do so with UN approval, the GOP wouldn't allow him. Congress wouldn't help him help those people at all. NOW, we are expected to believe that we attacked Saddam because he was evil and a personal vendetta, rather than for the truth. We are to believe these men and women and Iraqis have died for a righteous government? One who sends them to die for a presidential vendetta and oil?

I support our troops but this war is wrong. The best way to support the troops is to say this war is wrong and we need to find a way to stop it so that no more innocents have to die.

The world isn't looking at us and admiring what we are. The world is no longer saying we are a great nation. The world is scared of what we will do next. If we are to ever even try to have world peace we cannot be looked upon as a bully and have other fear us. It breeds contempt, contempt breeds hatred, hatred breeds war.
