I didn't support the war.
Not because any of that "It wasn't UN mandated illegal war" BS though, because this was the same UN that sent people to Rawanda and then refused to give them orders allowing people to be butchered an peacekeepers to do nothing but watch.
I mean, there reasons were pretty clearly found out in the whole oil for food scandal that people tend to ignore.
People who don't support it because of that come off as about as ignorant as the people who claim we went there to get Al Queda. The UN wanted to protect a country they were getting millions in kickbacks from? Who'd of guessed. The whole coverup afterwords was great too. "Don't release any information to investigators unless first given permission by me, and the guy who specifically been accused of fraud via Iraqi economic documents showing payouts.
I didn't support it because if we had good reasons not to "finish the job" after Desert Storm.
Honsetly, the whole thing has gone better then I expected, however. It looks like Iraq EVENTUALLY will have a solid democracy, and the presence of Democracy in the middle east may have been a contributing factor to the massive wave of regime change we've seen in the middle east lately.
As of yet, i'd still say no to it... but my mind is less made up of it being a bad idea, and based on how things out it might change completely.
