I agree that Saddam is a monster, at least from what I've seen, he appears to be a monster but there are countless countries with oppressive dictators. Where do we draw the line? Is George Bush trying to force every country to adopt our form of government, with our morals, and our ideals? Can we attack every country with a ruler who rules by fear and aspires to posess WOMD? Dont we have them? Doesnt N. Korea? How about Great Brittian, India, Pakastan. Hows the leadership in Cuba? The Phillipines? Come on, actions like this breed actions like this. Other countries loathe us now and it's getting worse by the day. Does anyone think that we are winning anyone over in Saudia Arabia, Jordan, Sudan, or anywhere else?
I am in full support of our troops now that we are in conflict. I hope that this war is over quickly and casualties are as low as possible on both sides. I dont think we should be at war, however.
All the money spent in this conflict, on weapons, buying off support from other countries, rebuinding Iraq, etc. would have done a world of good right here. We could have boosted our economy, feed the poor, built homes for the homless, built new schools, gave everyone free health care, cleaned the air, saved the airlines, saved the steel industry, tightened border security, saved social security...... You get my point.
