If you believe murdering women and children is the right thing to do, then you are no better than a terrorist animal.
If all is fair in love and war, why do the courts sentence people to prison when they kill their lovers?
Oh big head of concrete, you are so wise....
There is a difference between murder and going to war.
1. The Constitution states that no person shall be denied the right to property, freedom or life without due process of law. Abortion is murder --- but of course, lefties will contort themselves into a pretzel trying to argue their way out of that one. The Right is trying to get Roe vs. Wade overturned, not the Left. So it is the LEFT not the RIGHT that believes in the murder of children. Pick your words wisely. The war in Iraq was authorized by the US Senate.... again, you seemed to have missed that point.
2. If you stood by and let the Nazis arrest and jail thousands of innocent Jews knowing full well what their fate was, you are guilty of murder by an act of omission rather than an act of commission. Saddam was operating rape rooms, torturing and gassing people, the mass graves bear silent witness to the scale of the murder in Iraq.
3. Iraq was involved in WMD programs, was preparing to reinitiate its WMD programs after the UN sanctions were lifted. Some Iraqi generals... to this day... insist that Saddam had WMDs up until the time of the invasion. Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.
Stepping into Iraq was within our power, we went through the UN first, they chose not to do a damn thing. Unlike Saddam, who invaded Kuwait in 1991 without anyone's permission.
Regardless of what Kofi Anan says, there was no "illegality" about the war in Iraq. If anyone is a criminal, it's Kofi Anan --- $20 billion in oil for food diverted into the pockets of Saddam, his inner circle and many of his apologists... all the while Iraqis were starving.... while the UN was supposed to be overseeing the whole thing.... who is the murderer now? Similarly, the UN didn't want to do a damn thing about the situation in the Balkans, Clinton went ahead and committed troops, but somehow that's different? The Serbs didn't possess WMDs either. Why no charges of murder then? Why wasn't that military action (and the fact that we're still there) bring up charges of "illegal war", "Clinton lied and people died"????? And our weapons did kill innocent bystanders in Kosovo.
