American blood isn’t limitless. Look at history and note all the powerful nations destroyed by endless war. Our founding gneration was wise when they warned us not to take all the world’s troubles on our shoulders.

Iraq was on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism for over a decade. Saddam had invaded Iran and Kuwait. He was seeking WMD. The idea that we could allow Saddam to remain in power while fighting the war on terror is nonsense. Given the huge oil revenue and his two crazy sons, we would have had to confront Saddam sooner or later.

AQ said that Iraq was the central front in their war against the US. AQ was already in Iraq before we invaded. Perhaps you don't recall why we went into Iraq.
