I cannot speak for Bush's reasons for going to war. Only he can do that. I too believe the guy is an idiot.
I do believe that the timing was right. We had to take Saddam out before he totally destroyed the entire region. I think the "spin" was used, because we (the American public) were in a position that we wanted to kick the ever loving sh*t outta someone. And Saddam was an easy guy to hate, not to mention, it really did need to be done.
I hear of others speak of world opion. The fact of the matter is, America has never really cared about world opion, and when all is over, the world will kiss our butts for our American dollar.
Germany was selling the Iraqis weapons and equipment that's why they didn't want us there. Same with France. We protected Germany from the USSR for 50 years and we bailed the French cowards out God knows how many times. This is how they repayed us. Who cares what either of them think.
The mid-east is complaining in public and letting us fly over thier heads and do as we please as long as we promise to leave as soon as we can. They too, are happy to see the guy out of power, they like our money too.
The Whitehouse needed AMERICAN public opion to be on thier side for this. And if the idiot can get us out of there before the election, he will get another term.
It truly is a big game of dirty pool. But, the fact is we are the world police whether we like it or not, has nothing to do with it. We are the only country powerful enough to pull it off.
Economic sanctions etc. will only work against countries where the people have the ability to make a change. The UN's sanctions didn't touch Saddam, they only hurt the people of Iraq. The world is still at a point where someone has to carry a big stick and not be affraid to use it. Animals like Saddam only understand one way of thinking. The more you talked to him, the weaker he thought we were. He needed to get hit with the stick.
I think it is a terrible thing for it to come to war. But, there really was no other way, and as I said earlier the longer we waited the worse it was going to be.
The people fighting now are not loyalists of Saddam's. That is just talk. The people aren't fighting for Saddam, they are fighting for thier lives. They are the same people that raped and tourtured the civilian populace for 30 years. They know, if the powers are handed to the people, they will be hunted down like the dogs that they are and be slaugtered. There is 30 years of paybacks coming, and they are scared. I hope they get what they deserve, and I hope their own people get the chance to give it to them.
