>Didn't you get the point of my last post? Are you even reading what I have to say?
Yes, and you didn't answer my questions. (Are you reading my posts?) Let's try this again: Why Iraq, why now? Saddam hasn't been a threat to anybody in 12 years. Why the sudden need to remove him from power? Why aren't we focused on Bin Laden, someone who supposedly orchestrated 9/11, instead of Saddam? Isn't Bin Laden supposed to be a bigger threat to our way of life than Saddam is? If you want me to support the war you should start by answering these questions.
>The reason why we didn't do anything is because we had a democratic President in office! U.N. had monitors in Rwanda at the time, but they didn't do anything or report anything until blood and body parts started floating down the river. Is any of this getting into you thick skull?
BS. You can't blame everything on Clinton.
>The U.N is useless and I'm glad they're going to be taking a back seat to the rebuilding of Iraq.
You say the U.N is useless yet you want Iraq to obey them?!? If they are useless and we are free to disobey them by invading Iraq, why do you expect Iraq to obey them?
>Yes, there is, the Iraq people will be the winners.
I doubt that. But I do know that the U.S. citizens will be the losers...we are already. We've had several of our civil liberties taken away from us since 9/11 and it's only going to get worse if Patriot II gets passed...you know the same freedoms that we're supposed to be bringing to the Iraqi people. Congress just OKed a $80 billion deal for the war, yet we have many problems here in America that could have used that money.
You want the US to be the world police and solve everybody's problems? Fine, but fix things here first. I care more about the U.S. and it's citizens than I do Iraq and the Iraqi citizens. Why is it the other way around for you?
