However you have found a neocon here who wouldn't want to move the clock back on Iraq.
9/12/01's New York Times reported Saddam Hussein announcing his support for the 9/11 attacks that had just taken place on our country.
He got taken out and I believe that was a gain.
The rate of violence in Iraq has hit 2008 levels.
The Iraq war was a waste.
It was a gain but as I said the requirements for war never
be based on only issues of morality. There should be a military threat or actual attack. The capturing of Saddam was not a matter of military threat, intervention as the cause, it was a matter of morality, he was captured as criminal, while it was a gain, it did not fulfill the conditions for going to war if merely for moral reasons,
I’m no neo-con. Not even in the same neighborhood. But I would agree that the world is a better place today because saddam hussein is no longer in it.
Motivated more on our original fight against him in 1991, and for what? Taking out a country that was illegally side-drilling into Iraqi Oil Fields....and protecting our Saudi Masters.
