Nah, I don't think that's why at all, Shimraa. We had justification and international support to go after Al Qaida in Afghanistan. However, that wasn't good enough for us. We found some information that said Al Qaida was training in Iraq and had funding from Iraq, so we trumpeted that up into justification to go to war against Iraq which many of still believe is just Dubya's way of finishing what his father started in 1991. Honestly, I look at it as just an excuse to go to war against Iraq. I don't think we should be there. If anything, the U.S. comes off in the worldview as being the aggressor. No longer are we the country running to help the little guy being bullied like we did when Iraq invaded Kuwait back in 1990. Now, we're the invader. Yes, Iraq has done some bad stuff. There's no question about it. But, what right do we have to tell another country how they can be run? By that rationale, any nation that does not support democracy has the right to just come over here and overthrow Bush.

I support our troops and hope they return home soon. I just am not a big fan of our Commander in Chief.
