In your opinion without regard to any reasons why (AQ ties, Nukes, whatever), was the invasion of Iraq justifiable on the basis of removing Saddam from power?

Voted yes because I am a white male, brain washed to believe that all things muslim are evil and that this was just an oil grab by a group of Bush Cronies trying to make a living in difficult times.

Not because Saddam was a ruthless killer, who sponsored terrorism, and was a destablizing force in the middle east.

Well, considering how the US sponsored the terrorists in afghanistan during the cold war, destabilizing the entire area, i think we should definitely invade the US.

I cared what he thought, or I wouldn't have asked the question, Toker.
If you want to make your own thread where you don't care what he thinks, go ahead. It's what this type of messageboard is for.

If you don't like it, don't click it. If you don't want to read the resposnes, put on some blinder. Put him on ignore. But I didn't ask what your opinion of his was, so why do you have it in this thread?

Yeah because my life equates perfectly to some redneck attacking a country, thereby opening up the terrorist recruitment floodgates, and completely ruining a nation that was functional. Growing up in the USA != a fucking retarded administration ruining the lives of millions in a foreign country and creating another terrorist hotbed.

I think you're just jealous because I can function in normal society, whereas you have to register with the state every 6 months and notify the neighborhood when you're moving in.

what kind of retard would vote yes to such an obviously loaded question? 22 of you said the invasion of iraq was justified to what amounts to an explanation of "just because"?

oh wait I forgot what fucking forum I am posting on. I couldn't throw a rock in here and not hit a moron.

Yeah considering none of the reasons(AQ ties, Nukes, whatever) turned up to be true, I'd have to go with a big fat no. As Lynks stated, of course Saddam was an evil man but there are plenty of other countries that are of equal or greater threat to us.
