anyone, answer me this question:
If, in 10 years, peace was prevelant in the Middle East due to us returning Iraq to all of its people (and not just a minority) and the Taliban is still on the run/captured/dismantled, would you believe the war in Iraq was worth it?
state reasons, think with your brain and don't post website links or news articles. Im really curious to see how many people tow the party lines or think for themselves. (me, Im a centrist)
my answer:
yes, peace/democracy is something that is fought and won, not something that comes to those who stand around doing nothing.
A less aggressive Middle East is better for the whole world.
War is not a clean thing, its dirty, nasty and very very unpleasant. But it is needed at times. Leaving Saddam in power would have proved detrimental to the whole world. He wanted control of the entire Middle East if not more. He saw himself as the great Arab Leader. There were no checks and balances in his area. At least we can vote out our government officials.
