War in Iraq, is there a point?

The original reason, as we all know, was that we thought Iraq had WMD's and were a direct threat to us. After we got there, we found out there were no WMD's. So we thought up another reason we were there: to establish democracy for the iraqi people. It was a mistake in intelligence but now we have to stay there to try to stabilize the country.This message has been edited by robinrohan, 08-22-2005 01:22 PM

That has nothing to do with why we were supposed to be there in the first place.

Where is that great army that is going to invade us?

But in order to make the women of America wear burkas, you will need an occupying army. A terorist incident won't get it done. You will need a vast military machine. I don't see any around.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, until they start amassing this vast army, I think we should concern ourselves with reality and stop invading countries on false intelligence. Those billion and a half men are going to need a fleet of ships, a great air force, a whole bunch of cruse missiles and the like in order to reach the Florida coast. At the moment they got nothing but home made bombs.
