"The whole idea of invading Iraq or any other nation that has NOT declared war on another country is violating that country's sovereign rights. Just as the US was founded by our forefathers in search of a country to run the way we wanted it run, that is all the other countries are looking for."
I'm pretty sure there are an awful lot of Iraqis that were looking for a leader that wouldn't kill them because they said his clothes don't match. Yes, Saddam has killed people for saying his clothes did not match. How is it bad we took Saddam out of power? Yes, Saddam was a bad guy is more than enough reason. We need to help more countries out that have cruel leaders like this.
There are not enough terrorists in the U.S. to do much about it. Invading Michigan would be kinda pointless since Michigan has no ties to terrorists except in certain organizations. Do I think we should raid those identified organizations? Hell yes.
And to those people that claim there were no ties to Al Qaeda in Iraq, that's not a very intelligent arguement. Hell, there are ties to Al Qaeda here in Fargo ND. The difference is Iraq can do a lot more damage helping Al Qaeda than anyone in Fargo ND.
"Iraq was not declaring war on the US. Iraq wasn't even a clear threat to our country."
Kerry thought it was until he realized it would be bad for Bush if he denounced the war and pretended he never really supported going.
"North Korea DOES have WMDs and is developing them further.
Saudi Arabia is known to host terrorist organizations.
Sudan is currently practicing genocide.
These are all good reasons to invade a country but we haven't."
I completely agree. We can't take them all on at once, but something needs to be done about them. Once again, I wish the U.N. would get off its lazy ass and do something. Once Iraq is fairly stable i'm sure we'll be turning out attention more towards North Korea. We better anyways. But once again, how do you deal with a country that openly states if we invade them they will nuke us?
