Care to explain which of these events justified immediate invasion? There is a tremendous amount of hell going on in the world. We stood by while a million Rwandans were murdered didn't we? By this logic we should be running round the planet fighting injustice. How many of these dictators were paid off during the cold war to be our allies???

The timing of the invasion and the methods were justified by a single issue, WMD in the form of a mushroom cloud in the United States or major biological attact. History has clearly demonstrated 2 very important facts related to this point.

Fact 1 - Saddam was nowhere near making a nuke, and had no current nuclear or biological weapons program. Not that he didn't have intent...but there was no beef in the burger.

Fact 2 - The US government had little to no evidence to justify the statements made by Chenye, Rummy, Buhs, Powell and Rice on Saddam's WMD. Don't believe me? read the bi-partisan Senate report.

I'd say this is insulting, and is against our instutions and morals.

I still like your avatar by the way
