Why not?

Because the United States is an honorable country. We are not like Saddam Hussein, who invaded Kuwait to profit from their oil. I disagreed with the left when they said the U.S. was as bad as Iraq etc. Apparently, not everyone agrees with me. I'm not supporting anyone who wants to turn the U.S. into a third world dictatorship.

We're also a broke country

We are an honorable country. I think we proved that for all time at the end of World War II. We rebuilt Europe, Japan and other parts of the world. We had a monopoly on nuclear weapons for about four years, yet we did not conquor the world with those super-weapons. Do you think the Russian, German, Japanese, Roman or any other historic empire would have done the same?

I always thought the only reason to invade would be to secure Oil Supplies. You can not liberate Muslims. They are unliberatable due to the fact they are Muslims.

According to your logic, we should give the Southwest back to Mexico, return Hawaii to the natives, return Puerto Rico to Spain, and then send all white people back to Europe and all blacks to Africa.

What I find dishonorable is invading a country and getting nothing in return except a bill for a trillion and half and bunch of dead Americans.

Just change what is considered honorable, no problem...When you’re talking about our country, does the end justify the means?

We spent all that money and sacrificed so much in Iraq, so many lost lives and wounded warriors and we don’t get anything back to compensate for our efforts?

Are you saying that Iraq should not have to share in the burden?
