May I offer the humble observation that this is exactly the sort of thing that led to the collapse of the British Empire. They were overextended, their colonies rose up against them, and chipped away at them until they were forced to withdraw from... practically everywhere. It doesn't matter how "right" the US is. We need to go about all of this in a way that won't bankrupt the country! Wasn't it just a few years ago that we thought our stock market was unstoppable? Wasn't there a degree of, um.. hubris? Unfortunately this time I think it's going to be a lot more than money that's going to be lost.
Fact: Iraq is an avowed enemy of the US soon to be in posession of nuclear weapons, and currently in posession of biological weapons. They support and harbor terrorists.
It is extreme hubris to assume murderers will become nice people by talking to them and cajoling them after they have already come to our places of work and murdered our families.
Perhaps we should disarm our police forces? or at least tell them never to use their guns if they are faced with a violent situation.
Your "argument" makes no sense in any context in which we are faced with irredeemable murderers and enemies.
LOL "hubris" you say? No, it wasn't even hubris when the colonial Americans took on King George III.
It was principle, morality and even self-defense.
Which facts about the situation do you not understand?
