Saddam was no angel, but the Iraqi people were better off under his rule. Just look at the violent mess that is today’s Iraq.
And who gave us the right to invade a sovereign country, anyway? We shouldn’t have even been involved in the first Gulf War. Both wars were fought for the Globalist Neo-Cons. The Iraqi people never invited us to plunder and destroy their country.
The never ending Neo-Con wars are one reason why the entire world hates the US.
Gulf War I can be defended. Saddam had just invaded and occupied a foreign country, Kuwait. Gulf War I was a response to his overt aggression.
But Gulf War II is an entirely different story. Gulf II was, at its core, a preventative war. It was fought to prevent Saddam from doing something in the future, once he got his so-called WMDs up and running.
Preventative wars are generally thought to be illegal wars. And for good reason. Because to think otherwise would make any war a legitimate war. For example, Russia could then legitimately invade Estonia to prevent Estonia from some day firing a missile at Moscow.
If someone wanted to argue that George W. Bush is a war criminal, I would not disagree.
