Just watched "No end in sight", a documentary about post war Iraq

We were told that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. That was our reason to invade another country. And of course, the real reason was for revenge on 9/11. (Note: Nobody wants to invade North Korea or any other place with known weapons of mass destruction, ie nuclear weapons.)

After doing our search and finding no mass destruction weapons, we should have declared victory and pulled out. Would it leave chaos in our wake? Yes, of course it would have. Is there going to be chaos when we pull out now? Just as much. I don't think that there will be that much freedom that long in Iraq after we leave.

As far as 'freeing people enslaved' or being killed, there are a number of African countries that fall under that category, but as long as they don't blow up our buildings, then that is allowed to continue.

 I agree in that we are selective in what we do.  I think that if we approached this situation this way, then we should approach the others the same.  Just because we do not, does not make this situation wrong.  I hate the selective treatment that we give, but I support the help none the less.  The problem I see is that we are unwilling to use the might that we have. I also understand that it is easy to sit back on the outside and think that I know what ought to be done.  We really have no idea what all goes on and how tough some of these decisions must be for someone to have to make.  I just wish there was more respect given people who are forced to make tough decisions, instead of the constant trashing that they get.
