I don't think anyone here are nazi's, Lots of brothers of the leaf with differing political ideals. Though the idea of a preemptive strike, on shaky intelligence, I had an idea, at that time some of the "intellegence" was fabricated, and the demonizing of anyone who didn't agree with GWB, is very much a facist stance. There still hasn't been an Iraq AlQuaida connection established, so that arguement, is pure propaganda. The Yellowcake debacle, pure propaganda, the demonizing of opposition voices, pure propaganda. At the time, the idea of going into Iraq, and taking it over, as the 51st state smacked of facist imperialism, still does to some degree.
That said, I do believe that Saddam needed to be removed. Just think that the threats, to our country, and our allies, was overstated, so Bush could get his war. I still believe that we need to bring the U.N. into the rebuilding phase, and the building of the new government in Iraq. Why, you ask??? If we appear to be the conquerers, to the Iraqi people, and not the liberators, the attacks on our servicemen and women, will continue, and increase, as well as recruitment incentives into the various terrorist organizations. But other than that.
The USA is the greatest country to live in, in the world. I just think we need to work with the international community to solve our problems abroad. Let our diplomats do their job, and yes, improve our intelligence.
