Jumping right in

Although this thread is devolving into a flame, I think you made your point, at least with me. Young soldiers deployed to Iraq BELIEVED they were over there fighting to find Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, which of course, he was going to use on Americans.
Then, when those weren't found, they believed they were going to free Iraqis, and give them democracy.

Now they just annihilate whole cities with millions of people and leave their bodies on the roadside to be eaten by dogs.
And why?

For some Republican think tank and some small sense of hubris from a glorified American leader whio sees himself as a righteous, God-fearing man?
I think it sucks too.
