So, it’s better for us to be lied to, go to war under false pretenses and sacrifice our soldiers’ lives with no clear objective; not to mention the countless civilian deaths and trillion$ we inccur in debt - just so we can feel safe from a percieved threat? Yeah, that sounds like a great policy...Let’s keep doing it.
Therein illustrates the problem with Ron Paul and his supporters. This is a blatant liberal lie. The Iraq war was not based on lies or false pretenses and to say so is blatantly dishonest. Regime change in Iraq was policy across both parties leadership and based on Saddam Hussein repeatedly breaking his agreement to end hostilities in 1991. Hussein was both a destabilizing force in the region and a threat to the US. He was funding much of the suicide bombers in Israel (notice how that has become so much less frequent since Hussein was removed?). He was a tyrant and needed to go. We can debate whether it was wise to go in a ground war or how it was prosecuted, but the justification was there absolutely. Why was the UN so focused on resolutions against Iraq if no threat was there? The fact hat they wimped out and were corrupted in the process does not change the justification.
You are probably right. We should just ignore N Korea and Iran and their plans for a Nuclear bomb, and after they get it they will sell it to Venezuela, but that’s ok too.
Yeah you are right vote for the nutbag.
