I only get mad whe the U.S. government lies to it's people and the world about the reasons for going into a country.

What lies? The WMD?

Seriously.

If its bad intelligence that it was based on..OK. To suggest it was outright lies is ridiculous though.

Russia said he had them, so did China, and Germany and France and EVERY other member of the Security Council, 17 resolutions prove that. Their reasons for not supporting a UN backed invasion was not because they belive he didnt have them, but instead they wanted inspectors to "have more time" to locate and destroy them and avoid armed conflict. 8 years hadn't been enough time in their opinion.

I agree with you, when the use of military can be avoided, you do so. It was time Hussein was made to face the music after 9/11. The extreme radicals in the middle east had been getting off rather easy for a long time while diplomacy was tried....look what it led too.

Hard to talk your way to a resolution with a mad man hell bent on the eradication of at least 2 races and one that held a large disdain for the entire Western culture.

Sometimes you have to fight for whats right in your eyes. They do.
