Reasons For War
Today, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld publicly admitted there was no evidence of a link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. Interesting considering this was one of the main reasons for the invasion. In case you don't remember, let's recap those reasons (italics are my comments):
- Saddam's unproven link to terrorists.
- Weapons of Mass Destructions that haven't been found.
- Liberation of the Iraqi people. Makes you wonder why Iraq topped the list, considering the genocide in the Sudan.
- Saddam was a terrible dictator who gassed his own people. While to US did nothing about it until 10 years later.
- Bringing democracy to the Middle East. Because we all saw how all the Arab nations fell in line after a democratic Israel was established.
- America's right to preemptively attack a perceived enemy. Too bad the US is the only country allowed to do this.
Yup, sounds like good reasons to invade a country. Let me know if I forgot anything.
