Re: An American Woman's View
I have nothing but admiration for our brave lads and lasses out in Iraq but how exactly are they (and the Americans) "dying for our freedom"?
Saddam was a murderous, evil sod, but he wasn't about to attack us (even though Blair tried to con us into believing in the existence of his WMD). He was not a religious fanatic, he was just an old-fashioned ruthless dictator. Is invading Iraq going to prevent another 9/11? I very much doubt it.
If Iraq had been a threat to us, I would have been the first to advocate going in there, all guns blazing. But they weren't and the tragedy is that brave members of the coalition forces are now dying for nothing.
