Nice try, but NO.easyt believed it too apparently. Still does lol
I believe Hussein served a purpose, to keep Iran in check.
I believe if we wanted to strike a strategic blow in the region we should have take out Syria. Syria was Iran's 'toadie' and funneled weapons / supplies / support from Iran to the PLO to continue the attacks on Israel.
Taking out Syria would have sent a serious message to Iran and would have made a bigger impact in the region than taking down Hussein / Iraq...IMO.
Doing so, however, would have been as 'un-necessary' as going into Iraq. Oh, I believe it wasn't all bad in the fact that we took down a butcher who abusing/murdering his people, but that opens up the conversation regarding does the US have any right to stick our noses into anyone else's business. I thought that was what the useless U.N. was for.
Liberals should also cut the hypocritical crap of condemning W when Obama has done the very same thing SEVERAL times:
- Injecting itself into Egyptian politics, influencing them to move up their election date which benefitted the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood and helped them come to power
- Taking the country to war on his own, by-passing Congress to do so, and using our military to help Al Qaeida take over Libya
- Waging his own proxy war against Assad / Syria.
The US has a serious history of picking and choosing sides / dictators - Hussein, Noriega, Castro, etc...and most of them turning out badly.
...but you're wrong about me 'buying into' anything.
