America, a self proclaimed democracy, went to war under international law in supposed self defence (it would have been illegal to invade a country simply to 'liberate' citizens from a tyrant). We went in with WMDs to find and the obvious connections from Iraq to al Qaeda, those being legitimate reasons to go to war.
These reasons have since been disproven. We are still there.
This is very cut and dry. We have no buisness being in Iraq, as they never posed a threat to our country. Had the Iraqi citizens called on american aid to overthrow Saddam, we might have a reason. That is not the case.
This was not a war, but an invasion without legal or moral base, the conclusion of which has frightening implications for future generations. What happens the next time America decides to claim someone else has WMDs or connections to terrorism? We get hundreds of thousands of civilians dying and our soldiers being used not for protection, but domination. Can no one stop this?
