[new] Misinformed reasons to support War
http://www.foxnews.com/....
Fox News asked its readers if after 3 years hindsight they think invading Iraq was the right choice. It is very interesting the answers people give especially those who still supported the War. They until now support it for misinformed reasons--such as getting rid of Saddam will lessen terrorism or that Saddam had WMD still. It is same with politicians who come out publicly their continued support--like it seemed misinformed or misleading.
In retrospect, do you think invading Iraq three years ago was the right choice for the United States?
Without question. The world could not allow a madman to kill people, including his own, at will. No one said it would be easy. However, freedom has never come easy. If we think Iraq is tough, let us not forget the tough battles of World War II, when our servicemen couldn't even sleep. We lost thousands of good men. Iraq is small in comparison. However, every life is precious. Let us not forget that!" -- Charles (Lenoir, NC)
"Not only was invading Iraq the right thing to do, it was the only thing we could do. I am one of those who are convinced that intelligence was NOT wrong and that there were WMD in Iraq. Most Americans, including Democrat politicians, were all jumping on the bandwagon three years ago. However, the politicians are now more interested in making political hay than they are at seeing the war through to its logical conclusion -- victory. It's reminiscent of their actions during Vietnam." -- Joe (Las Cruces, NM)

If however they think Iraq invasion is right so that US can have permanent bases and a foot in the Middle East and be able to influence events and protect oil supply to US---then I may disagree with them and call it imperialism but at least they are thinking.
But yet, if they are told that is the reason they would never support Iraq War.
