Al-Queda would still be at max level and would just come up with a greater, more devasting attack. America would have forgotten all about the middle east. Saddam Hussein would still be dictator of Iraq, forever ruling with an iron fist.

Americans have sacrificed a few(500+) for thousands upon thousands. Hussein commited genocide upon HIS OWN PEOPLE. Killing the hundreds of thousands. If this would of happen to a country mostly populated by whites, America would of been outraged. But muslims(middle-easterns) are of lesser stature.

People say that Bush lied to us about WMD's. The liberation of Iraq was not just about that. It was about liberating a country that lived in fear. Americans have the biggest ego. They put their own unemployment aboves the lives of thousands of innocent people. When you are poor in America, you are still fat. But when you are poor in Iraq, you die of starvation. Please put your petty egos behind yourself.

You don't understand what Bush is doing. He is FREEING a country. A year ago, in Iraq, if people protested about their country, they were raped,murdered,killed and your family was killed. You would have to see your wife and children raped. Now if you protest, you are listened to and changes will be made.

Damn democracy is a great thing!
1. You can't say what would have happened under Gore, that is pure speculation without a logical basis.

2. Shrub pissed-off a good 4/5ths of the world by attacking Iraq without UN approval. Can you say massive drop in international political capital ?

3. I call bullshit on the WMD comment, the invasion of Iraq was 100% about WMD untill we learned that Iraq had none. Then shrub, rummy and colon decided to shift the focus to humanitarian aid - bullshit I say.

4. Bush isn't liberating a country, he is creating a massive, sucking power vaccum where Saddam use to be. Iraq is going to have to toe an amazingly straight-line to keep from becoming an annexation of Turkey/Iran/Saudi or an independent Islamic theocracy.

5. What gives the US the right to invade another country without a pretext ?

6. Why did we invade Iraq when N.K, Rwanda and China all have humanitarian problems ?
