Interesting, Tom. Even if we grant that one actually can free a civilization by invading them against their will, blowing up any opposing Iraqis and then occupying them for an indefinite period in which we hold all meaningful political power. Even granting this fornication for chastity argument.

Even granting the morally absurd argument of your right to support and advocate for the slaughtering of hordes of people based on your beliefs about what will make this world a better place.

All this granted for the sake of argument.

All our invasion of Iraq demonstrates then, is our base hypocrisy to change out one tyrant that enslaves his own citizens while supporting other tyrants with an open hand and wallet.

I love to watch you wiggle, Tom. What argument will be next? What absurd analogy will you next draw from the dark polluted nether regions of your political tukus? How far can you bend before you have to change your mind on this?

And, a year from now, will you still be screaming about Iraq having WMD if we have uncovered none? Or will we be on to the next war?
