Let's talk Iraq

[beyelzu]

I am/was opposed to the war in iraq.

I do not think the war served america's interests.

There was no real link between iraq and al queda


any rationale for invasion, even based on the "evidence" of bush (when there was still a posibility of wmds) would have been better applied to North Korea.


However, if america does rebuild iraq as we did germany and japan, wont it be a better place. Wont there be a net good achieved. Safe for democracy and all that. By all accounts, Saddam was an evil fuck and surely the Iraqi people are better off without him.

Now I realize that this is unlikely (we arent even rebuilding afganistan like we promised) and it seems to me that we are going to fuck them twice.
