Thank you for those links. I appreciate it very much.
What else could’ve been done?
A massive bombing campaign, followed by the complete destruction of Iraq’s military and government, with a very pointed message sent before we went home:
“Mess with us again, and you’ll beg us to kill you.”
The purpose in a war of self-defense is to make the person threatening you so scared of you that he will never even think about threatening you again. Maybe if we did that instead of trying to win the world’s approval, we wouldn’t be getting dragged in to endless wars and occupations.
