Should the second Iraq War have happened?

What do you think?

No

Maybe, depending on your level of idealism, because Saddam was a sadistic phuck who needed to go down. However the real question is, did we go there with proper intent or foresight of a post-Saddam Iraq, which the answer is indisputably no. Bush used 9/11 sentiment to lie to the country and used the anti-Islamic hatred to trick people into being cannon fodder in a war that had jack shit to do with 9/11 or another terrorist attack. While I do appreciate the Husseins going down, there should have been much more planning and foresight in place. So I think the war should have happened, but we should have done it differently and for different reasons.

LOL.

But, no. It shouldn't have happened.

Or in other words, *our* second Iraq war shouldn't have happened, but a hypothetical one that actually has plans on how to rebuild and stabilize Iraq long-term would be fine?

someone has to take care of the dog shit of the world

I think Merica is really good at that, but that's just me though

Murica is good in blowing things up. As far as government administration though, not so much.
