Yes, and no. It's not a war that individual countries should have fought, though (as opposed to the UN). Nor should it have been about oil or WMD.
My biggest problem with Saddam Hussein was the Halabja massacre. I don't think it got mentioned once during the lastest war, and I don't know why. When a regime commits genocide, the world HAS to step in as one body. We should be tolerant of each other and respect each other's independence on most things. But not genocide. We should have dismantled them first time around, just after Halabja.
We seem to let this stuff go, though, if we don't have anything to gain personally. Pol Pot, Idi Amin... the way we stand idly by if there's nothing in it for us? We're the bad guy too.
Actually, even if there's genocide, I still say "fuck no" to war. People need to learn what "mind your own business" means. As harsh as it sounds, it's just my opinion, and we're all entitled to our opinions, and thus I hope I don't get attacked for posting this.
Agreed.
We need to leave, they hate us and the tribal warfare deal they have now isn't going to change anytime soon so we should probably stop selling them weapons.
Was the iraq war a success?
