Bullshit. That Saddam is BAD!! rationalization was used after no WMDs were found. We went into Iraq under flawed intel at best, and a flat out lie at worst.

The Libya situation was pretty straight forward.

Huh? It was all part of the package, I actually remember 2002, even if many have selective memory about that year. Many “liberals” suported the Iraq war precisely on this basis, that Hussein was a horrible dictator who needed to be removed for his human rights abuses.

Even still, you’re proving my own point, this argument alone is not sufficient to justify war, there needed to be some immediate danger to the US to justify going in to Iraq. Libya didn’t even have that.
