Well forgetting the reasons that we were told that we had to go to war with Iraq (for the second time at a Bush's hands) was that Iraq posed an immediate and present danger turned out to be a lie. The US does not have the right to topple a government just because we don't like what the government does there. And 50% of the Iraqi population supported Saddam anyway.
And I want to know what kind of democracy we have there? There is no elected government, people are scared to go onto the streets (more so than under Saddam), the economy only exists due to the good graces of the American Taxpayer, and at least under Bush, no plan to get us out of that tragic mess. As far as the rape rooms go, I assume that you completely ignored what is going on in the prisons there. I am amazed that you are proud of Bush's folly, especially since you admit it has made terrorism worse.

First off SaDam did pose a threat to the US. his own son-in-law, when he defected to Jordan talked about the on-going weapons programs, SaDam was working on long range missles, he was supporting terrorists (PLF, Abud Nidal, etc) Did you protest our preemptive war in Yugoslavia? Milsovic didn't pose a threat to the US. Even if Bush and the entire international intellegence community was wrong (which there's evidence to conclude they were correct, see prewar exports to Syria) that doesn't mean that the war was wrong. The Civil war was to preserve the Union, not to end slavery. Would you say the Civil War was an unjust war?
