If you feel this way, why did you vote for him twice?

There was already plenty of criticism of the Iraq War by the time the November 2004 election rolled around.

Regardless of what you think of Bush and the war, there is no denying that Saddam was unpredictable/unstable, pursuing weapons of mass destruction, and attempting to dominate/conquer the region. The decade-plus leading up to the war proved that time and time again. Remember, the first Gulf War was because he invaded Kuwait just because he felt like it.

So you can argue that perhaps we should have just stayed out of it, or that the money/human toll wasn't worth what we could gain, but you can't really argue that Saddam was doing just fine and we attacked him for no reason.

I voted for him the second time because I WAS a conformist sheep.

As for Suddam being unpredictable/unstable, this no justification for killing that many people. Maybe we should invade the poor people of North Korea because their leader is a fucking wack job. Who cares how many people die, their leader had it coming.

How would you feel if any member of your family was killed because of any violent action.


This has nothing to do with "was it worth the price" this is about wrong and right.
