leave asap , stay as long as possible.
either would have its critics.
everyone gets on the "WMD" talk as a reason for the war but in reality there were tons of other reasons. WMD is just what they used to convince the U.N.
people forget now what a pain in the ass saddam hussein was post-1st gulf war.
people forget all the times , the u.s. had to mobilize everytime he massed troops on the kuwaiti/saudi border and he did this on a regular basis to jerk us around.
people mention all the billions spent fighting the war but we were spending billions just sitting around in the gulf anyway because of his constant threats to kuwait and the saudis who we signed defense treaties with.
also am i the only one who remember he tried to assassinate george bush sr. in kuwait?
not everything is black and white. things are not always as simple as right and wrong.
losing a war doesn't automatically make the war wrong just as winning one doesn't automatically make it right.
people make it seem like this war is somehow more "wrong" or more "unjust" than others.
world history is littered with wars that were much , much worse and fought for less.
people just sensationalize to try to make their own little political views.
