You underestimate Saddam and his regime = 8 billion dollar government.
Yet we underestimated Osama Bin laden, un-organized group of men that wants to create havoc in America. = Successful
I said clearly, they are a threat, although not the biggest they are A threat. Therefor Bush made an example of there country. When you give into terrorism like our old friends in Madrid they continue to attack and realize they can use these scare tactics as a way to overthrow or persuade a government.
Sources are all biast. What you do is take in a large amount of information and make reasonable decision on how something should work. Thats why we have Democrats, Liberals, Republicans and independents. I dont think your sources are wrong, nor are mine.
I just agree with conservatives that liberals tend to sympathize with Terrorists ect.. for example Israel and palestine, majority of people in our country that Do sympathize with Palestine are liberal. Another example: Just today a woman was considered temporary insane after "Stoning" her 2 childeren to death because God told her to do it. I would have pulled the switch to the electric chair imo. This is no different then the Terrorists suicide bombing innocent people because God told them to do it. Thats a bullshit answer imo.
Also to express my opinion again. Bush made it clear with his list "The axis of Evil" and who was on it. I think it was a smart, educated decision to attack a weaker country first. To set an example and show the other larger countries that we might actually have to use some sort of diplomatic try with know we dont stand for terrorist acts (aiding or abedding them).
Basically i think we should be in Iraq to not only free the Iraqi people but also to use them as an example. Show the rest of the World that we cant be pushed around or controlled by the UN. We will stand up for ourselves and invade if necessary. And i gaurantee you this. We scared a lot of countries. hehe
Just my opinion. I apologize if i have offended anyone =-)
I mean what i say in the kindest and polite way.
Take care all
