I'd be more comfortable if the Iraqi people had liberated themselves.

I'm not certain that they even tried.

well you're wrong and you're right.  It would be more appropriate to say it was bad timing/missed oppertunity.  We could have had Sadam out of power after the first Gulf War (not during because that was not the mission as defined by the UN and the coalition) during the big uprising.  The problem is we didn't step up to bat to support them topple their own dictator.  IIRC we even promised them support but didn't come through with it.  Even if we did help out even then regime toppling wasn't really a popular thing to do even if you just helped out.

Might makes right.  If Iraq has a problem with being invaded they really shouldnt have disarmed and made themselves so vulnerable.
That will learn em.

"Probability is in favor of the situation developing for the better.

Pre action = very little chance of change

Post action = very large chance of change."


That doesn't follow.  A very large chance of change doesn't necessarily precipitate a change for the better.

Nah, he's talking about the southern ****es.  Interestingly the Al-Sadr family apparently had a major role in the uprising.

Anyone consider that all those months we tried to go through the UN to get in to Iraq, Saddam didn't have every train, truck, car and camel shipping WMD's out of Iraq before the invasion took place?

I've never been in favor of this war. Thought it immoral from the start and certainly unjustified. I mean in America, or at least the America I thought I knew, a person or country has to be proven guilty first, right? Not just proclaimed to be as such..  
Some here ask why others outside of America would care about our little invasion? Perhaps they care for the 10s of thousands of innocents that have been killed in Iraqi. It is very sad to say that most here turn a blind eye to that and consider it the cost of 'freedom' in this war of lies..
The longer this continues the more I can't help but look at our invading forces and consider them 'Redcoats' in a foreign land attempting to enforce their governmental ideas and way of life. Of course not the individual soldier doing his/her duty. But America's War Machine that was placed in motion for very specific reasons..

What ever papers you guys bring out:

Bush better travel around the world now, while he can. After this 4 years term, he end up tied to US soil, just like Kissinger.

nothing was "proved", just because they did not find WMD does not mean they are not there,buried in the desert/moved to syria.
