Many Iraqi children died before the US invasion because of sanctions.
Correct. Do you care about them, or do you find it useful to use their deaths against your enemies?

Yes. Seriously. We are not talking about people making decisions in general. That was a diversion on your part. I don’t fall for your diversions.
....
Correll do polls exist?
...
I agree that tendency was there for military action into Afghanistan, but I have seen zero evidence that such a tendency existed for a majority of Americans when it came to Iraq.
Why did you say that?
I do not contend that America runs itself or runs on, or runs in any way by polls?
A 6 out of 10 majority of Americans telling pollsters they want the UN involved to deal with WMD in Iraq from OCTOBER 2002 through March 2003 gives us the mood if the country on a specific topic in a certain moment if time.
So why do you dismiss the majority’s serious mood and opinion when being asked to consider a preemptive war for the very first time.
The USA operates under US Constitutional law. NOT international law.
You want to avoid war? Elect leaders that want to do the same.
Because we are not a direct democracy.
And a point about how people make decisions IN GENERAL, would thus apply to an individual.
If you have a choice between smearing your enemies,
2. THe UN inspectors are not credible. Their claims have no weight.
You can't verify destruction of something AFTER the fact.
Of course, I mostly don't care about your reasons then for what you believed then.
Another option is not to support and excuse leaders that lie to citizens about the necessity of preemptive war. And if you think it was not a lie, just an honest mistake, don’t excuse that either. President’s have plenty of resources that should prevent the kind of blunder that W made about WMD being hidden in Iraq.
And when the blunder causes half a million Iraqi deaths you need not whine and piss and moan about Americans who aren’t so eager to sweep it under the ooops honest mistake rug like the white evangelicals and cultural Christians like you want to do.
Do you always have to dismiss the opinion of the majority because America is not a direct democracy?
That question is directed to you because you have claimed that Americans were more open to war in Iraq because of the September 2001 attacks. it was after the terrorist attack 2001 that six out of ten Americans said they preferred giving UN inspectors more time rather than invading Iraq over the WMD threat. So why do you dismiss that peaceful preference and go around lying and blabbing that America wanted war and ran out of patience with SH. You and a bunch of white evangelical Christians wanted war. But most Americans and many of them Christians did not..
So you made it up by observing only likeminded warmongers in your right wing universe.
Correct. Do you care about them, or do you find it useful to use their deaths against your enemies?
Kind of an asshole move to "ask" a "question" and then answer it, and then insult me as though your answer was my answer.
What that shows is that "questions" from libs are rarely actually questions asked in good faith. What they are, are generally ACCUSATIONS of bad behavior, falsely structured as questions.
This is you debating in bad faith. YOu are not actually engaged in debate here, you are just spamming anti-American, anti-Christian and anti-white talking points, to spread hate and division.
Which leads back to the only real question remaining, which is WHY are you doing that?
What is your ideological Identification?
You have no fucking clue “how” W made the decision to invade Iraq. We all know however what that decision was.
He may have flipped a coin for all we know.
You cannot discuss the decision itself so you want to take us through a detour. Your usual crap.
You have not explained how asking you to answer a question is smearing enemies.
