WMDS = not there

[Wren57]

Iraq invading Kuwait WAS our business. Any instability in a region that hates us is bad; ever heard vacuum of power? Yugoslavia perhaps? Germany was unstable before Hitler.

All this monday-morning quarterbacking by you and people like you will get us nowhere. We might have been wrong about the WMDs. Then again, we were stalled by the UN for 8+ months between when we threatened invasion and when we actually went in. You can move a lot of bombs in 8 months.

What would you have made the decision on? Every day you make the best possible decision with the best possible information you have to make that decision. If we had been correct, and Iraq had WMDs, and we did nothing, and they sold a nuke to Al Qaeda and nuked a city, I guarantee you'd be raising a shitstorm about our lack of action.

Two schools of thought here. I prefer premptive strike to retaliation, as a retaliation strike means we've already been hit, and I would prefer us to not be hit.


On a lighter note;
Of course I think I am right. I wouldn't have an opinion I thought to be wrong. What is so wrong with that?

At the same time I realize I might be wrong, and that other people have other opinions, so that is a possibility; just, unlikely.
