That's what you said to Mark's suggestion that the current government is not what they would prefer.

they also have a right not to be killed wholesale by our tanks, bombs and guns. Those soldiers out there are dead if they don't fight and dead if they do.

We have given them detailed instructions on how to avoid being killed. They should surrender

But taking a country by force against the popular will of the people is NOT liberation.

Of what popular will are you speaking? Should we assume that your answer to Mark is that the current government is what they want.

Personally, I believe that the Iraqis hate their government more than Bowser hates ours (maybe).

Should we impose our will on an oppressed people? Probably not, let them fend for themselves but unless you think that our army engineers built that chem factory in the last few days we have a better motivation.

Watch it unfold and learn from it. The Iraq decision will be vindicated or not and the way we do things in the future will be affected.
