Correll hides once again under the cover of opinion by ignoring facts. The invasion of Iraq was not a friggin’ idea. It was a serious military reaction to a perceived threat primarily that the dictator would allow his stockpile of chemical WMD to fall into the hands of terrorists. There are no long term results to we wait to come in because the WMD threat has been removed when we found they did not exist.
And we cannot compare the historical record of what would have happened if W had let the peaceful disarming of Iraq to remove the threat of WMD continue - except that peaceful inspections would not have caused half a million Iraqis to die. 21SEP07-POST#491
