A guy who we believed had WMD's, said he had WMD's and said he would use them against America when he could. Now we are killing people who kill their own arbitrarily to prove a point and who want to kill us more then anything else while spending our money, money from the tax payers of the most philanthropic country in the world to build schools, housing, industry and more, train law enforcement and military and give the lives of service men and women in stabilizing a nation from people from within the country and surrounding nations.
What an awful, awful War.

Yes, it is an awful, awful war because the money you're spending on schools and housing and industry pales in comparison to the money you're spending on bombing and shooting them.
This is the fundamental difference and this is why you will never convince me that you are right. You seem to think that the possibility that iraq may attack you was justified in starting a war. You may as well have started a war with iran, syria, and saudi arabia at the same time since all of those countries have a HUGE anti-american sentiment.
Iraq had not attacked the US. There was NEVER ANY EVIDENCE that iraq had attacked the US. The THOUGHT that they MIGHT will NEVER be justification for a war.
