Your point of view McFly
Lindy — (archived)

Is an exercise of faith, and an American experiment dreamed up and executed by George Bush and his conservative friends.
It IS honorable, it IS lofty, but it was done in violation of international law.

To some extent, I agree with your post. To some extent, I agree with the idea. But who are WE to tell the Baathists how to live and how they should run their country?
They at one time were very valuable to us just as they were.
And when you see them fighting the Americans or anyone associated with them as disrespecting their own countrymen, I see them as fighting their country fiercely by an invading, occupying force.
I may not be right. It's a perspective.

I think what we have here is a one-sided perspective.
Not that you're right, and I'm wrong; or even that you're wrong and I'm right.

Seeing as there were no WMD's and this war was unjustified according to international law, where does the buck stop? When and where ever we decide to call the shots on a sovereign nation?

(just being the devil's advocate)
