re: #283 SanFranciscoZionist

Yes. I’m not arguing against Iraq, per se. I’m saying that we take responsibility for the people we killed. Pretending that we acted because Saddam did these things is absolute bullcrap. We didn’t go into Iraq to save the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein.

I should also add that I am not optimistic about the future of Iraq. Love to be proven wrong.

I can live with that and have said that before. I acknowledge that nearly 100,000 Iraqis died as a result of the invasion. However, I also understand that over 2,000,000 Iraqis had died as result of the sanctions and Saddam Hussiens Iran-Iraq war and murderous leadership. Had we continued the sanctions against Iraq, another 1,000,000 Iraqis would have probably died in the past 10 years.
