So you're going to cry over spilled milk? The history of the world is the history of invasion and conflict.

the world is ****ed. The only measures we can take now are to try to die off with some degree of dignity.

The US invaded iraq for entirely secular reasons.
1. WMDs - lots of out right lies were told about iraq's WMDs. I was personally suprised though that we didnt find the VX nerve gas we sold saddam in the 80s
2. Saddam was tied to 9/11, when in fact he was not at all an Islamist.
These were the 2 lies that were used to convince the american people

I suspect the US was actually trying to guarantee Iraqi oil supplies were controlled by an american ally, and the house of saud wanted us to take out saddam.

Bush himself was in large part controlled by Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz

pwned.

US did not declare war on Iraq in the name of Christianity. On the other hand, ISIS justifies what it does through Islam

[9erempiree]

It's time to get rid of the Islamic State once and for all.

OP obsessed with bashing the US, and yet is subconsciously gripped with their culture and identity. That self awareness

Christianity and Islam are the two most violent religions in history. All slander between them is the pot calling the kettle black.

The US was not founded as a christian country.

It very clearly states that.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

The No Religious Test Clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, paragraph 3, and states that:

The US was founded as a secular country

All US wars have been to promote and advance the Secular goals of the US government

I don't remember anyone sensible making such a connection and in fact Saddam had been a long time sponsor of terrorist action against Western countries, dating all the way back to Abu Nidal in the 70s. Your problem is thinking this all started with 9/11; well, that's incorrect considering terrorist groups were carrying out organised attacks on Western nations with support from Arab dictators a long time prior to this. And i assure you, the dangers were not going to evaporate by merely standing around, twiddling our thumbs and pretending it's all going to work out all right.

Iraq actually did have WMD nerve gas. They stashed it in Syria. It's the same nerve gas that ISIS used and tried to blame on Assad.

Poll: 70% believe Saddam, 9-11 link

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, says a poll out almost two years after the terrorists' strike against this country.
Sixty-nine percent in a Washington Post poll published Saturday said they believe it is likely the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks carried out by al-Qaeda. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents believe it's likely Saddam was involved.

The belief in the connection persists even though there has been no proof of a link between the two.

President Bush and members of his administration suggested a link between the two in the months before the war in Iraq. Claims of possible links have never been proven, however.

Veteran pollsters say the persistent belief of a link between the attacks and Saddam could help explain why public support for the decision to go to war in Iraq has been so resilient despite problems establishing a peaceful country.

The president frequently has called the Iraq war an important centerpiece in the United States' war on terror. But some members of the administration have said recently they don't believe there is a direct link.

The Post poll of 1,003 adults was taken Aug. 7-11 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

A Time magazine/CNN poll released Saturday said most Americans — 71% — believe the United States has done a good job in Iraq since the end of major fighting, while 26% said it has done a poor job.

Sixty-three percent said the nation was right in going to war in Iraq and 32% said it was wrong. But the Time/CNN poll found Americans more closely split on whether the military action was worth the price in America lives, taxpayer dollars and other costs — 49% said yes, 43% no and 8% were unsure.

The poll also found Bush's approval down to 52%, from 63% in May.

The Time/CNN survey of 1,003 adults was taken Sept. 3-4 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points

The Bush admin purposefully conflated Saddam with 9/11. Of course they would never just say saddam helped with 9/11, that is stupid and you dont need to do that to give the impression that saddam helped attack us on 9/11. they kept talking about iraq and al-qaeda in the same breath. It was purposeful.

You will convince very few american's with the actual reason we invaded iraq. Much easier is to scare people with threats of WMDs and anger people with thoughts of vengeance for 9/11.

You assume too much about me. I am not a FP dove. Personally my optimal solution was to invade iraq, keep the Baath party, keep saddam's army, bribe a corrupt general and install him as a pro american sunni dictator.
