Yes I can see myself defending this war to my children in 15 years. As myself and other have stated here before, the who/what/why's are someone elses means to an end, not mine. I see Bushs actions, regardless of motives, as correcting one of the worlds greatest injustices through our action in Iraq. We hung those people out to dry after Gulf War I and we put them in a world of hell with the sanctions. Because of Saddam it is not a lie or exaggeration to say that MILLIONS of people are dead because he had no regard for his own people, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people are dead because the guy was a total paranoid nutbar, now he'll never be able to hurt anyone again. I have always been big on the saying that all evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing, well we did nothing and millions upon million needlessly suffered... I see our action in Iraq as finally doing something in a mess we started. What you fail to realize is that words or bureaucracy(sp) (read the UN and it's actions) have no power and no authority, they don't get shit accomplished, all they are is hot air. I would've been fine with going into Iraq without the build up of WMD's, it was our mess to fix.
On top of that, I know the world will be a better place for them as Americans to grow up in because of our actions now. People like you are too shortsighted and blind to the policy behind the actions, that being the bottomline. We will never fully know the effects of our actions, because I'm willing to bet the farm that a great deal of drama and conflict is being averted by American blood in Iraq. As such in the long run America will be a stronger nation for this, as this action in Iraq keeps the world political landscape favorable to us.
