Tyrants are always ultimately a danger to the security of the United States and the safety of our people.
Not always. But I believe Saddam was a threat to us, and that we were right to take him out.
But I don't believe our military should have been told that the primary purpose of the mission was to free the Iraqis.
That result is a by-product. But the purpose and justice of the mission was to eliminate a threat to the US.
That is the only legitimate justifcation for our invasion.
