This is one of my ‘Big things’ that keeps me from supporting him even a little bit.

We had every reason to depose Saddam without needing to lean on ‘weapons of mass destruction’ frankly I wish they hadn't brought it up.

Supporting tyrants just because they maintain order is not a good thing. We should still be in Iraq and should not have left. It worked in Japan. It worked in Germany. Agreed, their populations were better educated but we did not allow them to try again.

We have no business removing tyrants who rule over animals. In the Islamic world there is either a secular military or a theocracy. The later is worse. Under Saddaam, Christians could sell liquor to themselves and live in peace. Saddam mostly brutalize other Muslims, Shiite and Kurds who want to fight him. He left the Christians and Yazdis alone. People may feel sympathy for the Kurds, but remember they are Muslims. Historically they fought Christians in Jihad

When Saddaam invaded Kuwait, we should have stayed out. All we did was expend lives and resources to return the land to Islamic despots.

Trump is right. We should have stayed out of Iraq.

Leaving Iraq to war with Iran and possibly with Saudi Arabia would have been much better for Western Civilization. There has been nothing but useless meddling in the Muslim world for decades.

Carter removed support for the Shah of Iran and let the Clerics take over. Reagan gave the Arabs high tech weapons to use against the Soviets in Afghanistan to remove communism to only get another theocracy. Bush 41 returned Kuwait to oil buddy despots. Clinton savaged Serbia to give Kosovo to the Muslims. Bush 43 got us into wars that spread all over the Muslim world. Obama is funding some very vicious Muslims to gain power in the Mideast.

We have Americans who go to fight these wars coming home with limbs blown off or killed. The Muslims don't appreciate their sacrifice. Trump is absolutely right. We should have left well enough alone. These wars do not serve the American people.
