The paragraph you dubed "1" tells me that any further typing on my part wont get through to you. I've given many reasons already why the US had to invade for the safety of our soldiers in Afghanistan and. our resources (transported goods) and also settling a score. If it makes it any simpler then here:
Mission Afghanistan - Find bin Laden, Oust Al Qaeda, Eliminate the tools that make Afghan a safe haven for terror.
Mission Iraq - Find Hussein and cronies, Oust Al Qaeda, Eliminate the tools that make Iraq a safe haven for terror.
Both of these missions were in the direction of the war on terrorism.
Now the finer point isn't if he had WMD's our care about India and Pakistan or North Korea tells us that US policy isn't to invade at the first acknowledgement of unsanction WMD's. It's that Iraq wasn't and ally and we had troops in the area, and if we respected their borders we would never have been able to call Hussein's bluff.
- As for Iran's anguish over US action with Iraq... I found this quote from Henry Kissinger on the matter "It's a pitty they can't both lose." As for the chemical weapons usage, the assumption was that Iran was using them as well.
It should also be noted that the US was not involved in the Persian Gulf War which began in 1980 I believe until 1987 after shipping had been threatened by Iranian offensives.
It should also be noted that the gas used by Saddam was not of US make or USSR make, which brings up the question of could Iraq manufacture them?
Out of time.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
