It just seems to me that Bush said he was going into Iraq to remove Saddam from power. He believed that it was prudent to do this because of his proximity to WMD's and terrorist organizations. I never heard Bush or Powell or anyone else say that the purpose of going into Iraq was to find WMD's. Maybe it was a pre-emptive strike- don't we have the right to defend ourselves?

Dude,

If there are dictatorships in this world where people have no voice in their government, where the citizens of a country are tortured indescriminately and brutally, where death at the hands of their government reaches genocidal proportions, shuoldn't we help save these people? Don't you have any compassion for the children who die in labor camps? Who will stop this if we don't-France or Germany? What IS the answer to their salvation?
I've asked you this before and have not gotten a reply- should we go after these ruthless dictators and remove them from their evil thrones? Should we use our military might to right the atrocities that these despots commit on their own people?
If not then what is the answer? Do we stand idle and do nothing but watch MILLIONS of others die too?
