So how would you go about it then?

And since when was it ever about freeing "those people"?

Iraq was a double edged sword.

Because we dont know if leaving Sadaam in power would have been a good thing or not.

First If we had left him in power, he would have continued his genocide of his people and gone for WMD's and more chemical weapons, but second, if we had left him in power he checkmated Iran and kept his country together.

Ah the WMD thing again eh? Even i believed that back in the day. It's comprehensively discredited now though. Even Donald Rumsfeld admitted they were totally wrong in the documentary he did. Saddest thing about that debacle is the last good republican, Colin Powell, took the fall for it.

I said "gone for WMD's" meaning going to acquire them.

Quit strawmaning.

Proof please. Given that all the evidence points to Iraq doing the exact opposite and had destroyed what they had.

JHC..I didnt say they had them.

So they were gonna get more of what they didn't have?

OK

Still waiting on the proof they were gonna get more though.

Still waiting on you to pull your head out of your ass.

No proof then? Thought not.

Suppose you could just invade every country on Earth cos they might try to get WMDs at some point over the next 10,000 years. Better bomb them now. Safe them sorry and all that.

Yea lets start with Iran and then your home.

Why is this debate so tense? It seems that everyone agrees in the major points.

Jaden and me do this, it's just what we do. Go look at the ballers thread in the TV forum.
