So... you think we HAD to go get our hands bloody in Iraq? Why did we have to do that exactly? There aren't any weapons of mass destruction and never were, and the intelligence only said there were if the person looking at them had already chosen to go there.

I guess I did not state what I meant clearly, all war is based on choice. Some choose to fight when the fight is brought to us or when we are pushed to the point where we believe we have no choice. That is in my DNA I think, I think many others have this trait, I guess some don't. Saddam invaded Kuwait. We defended Kuwait and drove Saddam out. We had an economic interest in stability in the ME, like it or not. Saddam was defeated and subject to conditions imposed by the UN. Saddam violated repeatedly UN mandates among a couple of other things. All he had to do was comply, he would still be in power. I think he was responsible for our invasion of his country.
I guess you are in part correct - I do think he was evil, and I do think he made us do it.
