I'm confused
As an American voter I don't see why it should be within your interest to support this particular war. I mean, the negatives of overthrowing a lightweight, past-his-date dictator outweigh the positive benefits.
Saddam was a spent dictator. He wasn't the threat he was made out to be. When push came to shove the so-called madman didn't launch any chemical attack on Israel or anyone else. Bush and co knew all along that the idea of a chemical attack was a bunch of baloney.
The irony is that Iraq has now become a genuine threat since it's a magnet for jihadists and nutters, the very people Saddam had kept out.
As I said, the day the U.S. invaded Iraq and all the papers over here were applauding the idea and how easy it was going to be, I was one of those who predicted Iraq would become the new Afghanistan with the U.S. taking the role of Soviet troops. What I mean is, the tanks rolled quite easily into Afghanistan with little resistance. It was only as time went on that Russian casualties started to increase in a steady drip. It's the same in Iraq. The Iraqi resistance will get better and better and more organised. Many of them will migrate to other countries and form fresh terrorist networks, become far more dangerous and destructive.
U.S, casulaties will obviously continue day by day, the suicide bombings, kidnappings, murder of Iraqis e.t.c. will just be another news bulletin. It was the same in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Telaviv.
This has been a colossal mistake. My guess is support for the war will start to manifest itself seriously within maybe 6 more months to a year. The question is, what will happen when the U.S. pulls out?
