War sucks!  I see no point in having wars.  I don't know who wins but a small minority of power hungry mongrels.  If I had my wish, there would be no guns, no weapons of any kind.  If you wanted to go to war, you had to fight with rocks and sticks, just like they did in the old days!

The words "stupidity" and "ignorance" come to mind as possible answers to your question.

That's a very powerful video.  Thanks for sharing it.

Let us assume for a second that your estimate of Iraqui deaths is not more than double the truth. Than lets compare it to how many Iraqui deaths would have happened in the same time period under Hussein, How many Jews and Christians might Hitler have killed had we not stepped in. How come every politician from bot parties besides the American hating Obama approved of the operation. How many less of our brave menand women would have perished if the liberals didn't go soft on interrogation techniquies,

  For whatit is worth I was against the war in Iraq, but that is only because I have not yet reached the place in my heart in which I love the Iraqui people as I should

Linda - Good to see you again!

Hugh - At least they would be dying by their own government and their own people. Who are we to dictate to another country how they should live? We should trade with everyone, but have no loyalties to none.

At least they would be dying by their own government and their own people. Now that is one of the lamest justifications that I have ever heard, regardless of which position on the Iraq war you are on.

We didn't step in to Iraq. We invaded Iraq for reasons rationalizations that were all lies! The invasion of Iraq has been a disaster for the United States and devasting to the Iraqi people. It was a strategic mistake and a mistake to go to war for no reason. One of, if not the biggest mistake in our history.

The historical record shows the Bush Administration had no interest in debating invading at the time and in fact went to great lengths to obscure them during pre-war planning.

BTW: My congressman and friend voted NO!

America must never make the same mistake again!

Mike - If the argument is that Hussein would have killed that number of Iraqies anyway, then I don't see how my statement can be seen as lame. By invading Iraq and killing innocent civillians (on accident or whatever), we put our own nation's safety at risk. It's our foreign policy of being the world police, nation building and growing our empire, that is the cause of all the negative sentiment towards our country and blow back that we receive in our own nation.

Mitchell - I gotta look out for you. I'm glad someone like you contributes to these discussions.

Maybe you forgot that Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act to foster regime change.  Another perjury sex scandal, and he might have done it himself...

Linda - Good to see you again.  I don't really need to respond to your question because you already know where I stand on this farce of a war.  I hope that the families of those killed never learn that their kids lost their lives in vain.  They deserve much better.

Hugh - 1) Saddam would have never killed as many Iraqis as have been killed in the past 7 years, 2) It's not our job as Americans to jump in and remove him, and 3) not that this would have changed my mind, but I would probably have a little more respect for Dubya if he came out and said, "We are going to remove Saddam because we fear many more Iraqis will die because of him".

Lane - Other than perhaps you being a sudden Clinton fan, what relevance does that have to do with this?

I saw the video. War should be the last resort when trade and diplomacy fail. However, neither the Democrats or Republicans refrain from military conflict.

Tchaka,

Good to "see" you again ...Thank you for your response to Hugh and Lane....

We both know where we stand on the INVASION of Iraq.

Never ceases to amaze me that the most CRUEL commenters claim to be Christ followers.....

Funny but my Bible says it is impossible to Love God whom we cannot see and at the same time be at odds with our fellow men whom we can see....

As for me and my House we LOVE all breathern  Brown, black , white  Christian, muslim and all people of all religions....in all Countries......
