I have always said this was the right war for the wrong reasons.

As for those against the war:
- ...knowing that SH had WMD for quite some time in the past,
- ...never proving he got rid of them,
- ...and even if he had, making quite clear he wanted them again,
Would it have been better for him to continue developing his weapons, and waiting until he used them against us or someone else to the tune of 1,500 many times over, before we did something about it?
War is always a bad solution, but it's the right choice when you're convinced doing nothing will eventually be worse.
Right?

Was against it when it began, still think it was a really bad move. However, I think we need to stay and clean up our mess.
Hardly, I'm Scottish but congratulations on showing your own bigotry towards a nation of people that have done more for freedom around the world than any other. As a German resident you should be intimately familiar with the benefits of a good American invasion/liberation.
Some things are funny yea.
As an scottish citizen, I wouldn´t have thought that you were affected by a severe case of selective memory as some american people seems to be.
The U.S was not alone in that war (France, UK, and Russia was there as well. As well as Germany was not alone (Italy and Spain were a very friendly neutral country toward the germans)
It was in the best interests of the U.S to stop the germans, and better to do it in Europe than in the U.S. You know less american civilians killed.
Make no mistake, every single country looks for their own interests, to do otherwise would be a treason of the government. But only the U.S tries to tell the rest of the world that they do things out of kindness of heart. Few foreign people believes it.

if the us hadn't stepped in europe (starting with endless supply shipments to the UK), the UK wouldn't have lasted.
and Italy was not "neutral" either...

The Iranian War is the sequel
.
Ya, it's funny to kill people in other countries, apparently.
I was against then, still am. We will eventually pull out and then all those that sided with the US will be doomed by the Muslim extremists. The right thing to do would be to offer all the siders with the US assylum.

I don't see how she's shown bigotry. She merely illustrated what most of the world has for the last few decades, very strongly since the Iraqi matter.
As for WWII, the US was aces. Anyone to denounce the actions of the US's involvement in WWII is either a devote Nazi, Hiro Hito Japanese, or pro-Mousilini Fascist. The US did save the world in the 1940's, since then we have abused our earned position and taken it too far.
WWII - Iraqi War = apples/oranges

...knowing that SH had WMD for quite some time in the past
Because we gave them to him to use against the iranian's
we also taught him how to make them!
-----------------------------------------------------------
...never proving he got rid of them,
because we yanked the inspectors before they could finish looking for them
-----------------------------------------------------------
...and even if he had, making quite clear he wanted them again
speaking from personal experience.....
after being attacked in my own house by a drugged out idiot, i choose to use a piece of oak firewood to beat the fuck out of the asshole....a loaded 9mm was within range.
next time, i wont hesitate to empty the a clip into him
ITS CALLED SELF PROTECTION!!!!!!!
against assholes that want to inflict their beliefs, laws and morals on you.
something they forgot to put in the bible....

I never said otherwise, but take away the help of France, Uk, or Russia and the Allies would not have lasted either. It was a collaboration among several countries against several countries. And on top of that, each member of the allies had personal interests that the germans didn´t win.
and Italy was not "neutral" either...
In that you are right, my bad.

OK, and they were never found and the Whote House has admited there were none. So that's wrong.
- ...never proving he got rid of them,
Again, the White House just established they were gone. Maybe they were used, maybe they were sold, but they are and were gone.
- ...and even if he had, making quite clear he wanted them again,
What small country doesn't want them to protect themselves from large potential invaders like China, Russia or the US?
All 3 points are moot, and furthermore, the WMD thing was just a reason to go in and take out an inactive enemy and make an example of a leader for the reat of the Arabic nation, a sort of deterent. Bottom line, he actually did nothing but express dislike for the US.
War is always a bad solution, but it's the right choice when you're convinced doing nothing will eventually be worse.
And there's only 2 options? There are several, but the untelligent thing to ask is why Arabs/Muslims don't like us. Could ir be our involvement with Israel? Could it be our proactive involvement with them to the point we protect their hell-raising in the region? I think so. 3rd option: Quit defending Israel.

Yes. I was able to watch it on TV permanently over the past 2 yrs. Impressing.
Living a little bit in the past, I guess?
BTW: What you just called "freedom" is considered as "invasion" in other parts or the world. It just depends on the point of view. Americans still tend to overestimate themselves, it seems. The world outside your borders is moving, living, proceeding, you know?
It seems to be the old well known mistake: People look down their feet, what do they watch? Nothing. They are "standing" on their point of view, impossible to realize it.
Sorry, I know that's too much.
Good night.

Yea DW is a real impartial source, and which country's borders? Invasion and freedom often come as a package especially when the invaded aren't free to start with.
Your accusation that people who disagree with you are myopic is not just misguided, it ignores the benefits you reaped from the same nation you arrogantly sneer at from your comfortable perch of freedom they helped build for you.
