If Invading You is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right

There was no hard evidence that Iraq had those stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. There was not any evidence that Iraq was responsible for the attacks of September 11, or that Iraq had operational ties to the al Qaeda terrorists who carried them out. By launching a war based on faulty premises and bad intelligence, President Bush failed Wilson's test. - Barack Obama

We should have taken Saddam Hussein out to defend the Kurds, long before he shook hands with the Taliban. The real mistake is that we didn't stop him earlier. Anyone who thinks what Hitler did to the Jews was a crime should have no qualms about invading Iraq to depose Saddam. I think rescuing people groups from extermination is justified. I won't mention the rape rooms and tyrranical atrocities under his reign against the Iraqis. Or should I?
None of this is in answer to what the left has to say about Iraq, it's just common sense. Put out the fire while it's burning your neighbor's house, and you won't have to see your own go up in flames - that's only the selfish side of things. How about Put out the fire while it's burning your neighbor's house, because dammit, you would want him to do the same if it was your house on fire, wouldn't you?

No WMDs, right? Remind me why the UN had inspectors in the country drinking martinis in their hotels - oh yeah, ostensibly to enforce 17 UN pieces of paper on the subject. We all know Saddam had chems, he killed the abovementioned Kurds with them.
I was watching live TV during the initial attacks, and a reporter was filming next to a truckload of missile bodies. The longer-range versions that the UN had outlawed - I saw about 20 of them stacked up like firewood. Where were those missles going? Where did that footage go?

Saddam had no ties to terrorists. Oh-kie-day. Al-Qaeda terrorists. So they were Taliban terrorists, right? I saw this live too: Geraldo Rivera got kicked out of the theater for reporting/drawing a schematic in the dirt on the battle a thousand 101st Airborne troops were having as they encircled a terrorist training camp of 800 or 700 soon-to-be murderers. They put up a good fight, as they were well armed and organized, but the Airborne guys did their jobs better. I'm glad these not-al Qaeda terrorists didn't get a chance to complete their training and subsequently ease through the turnstiles at Disneyland.

If exporting terrorism or WMDs weren't the issue, if it's just that war is the wrong thing to do...

War's a bad thing. But there are worse. Doing nothing is worse, when injustice is being done. Peace is worse, if "peace" is the liberal version where you're letting the bad guys rape/kill/pillage/enslave/do whatever they want, as long as we're not involved by trying to defend the oppressed ones. Korea was no mistake. Vietnam was no mistake - the only mistake was playing politics instead of winning there and ensuring the freedom for S. Vietnam. We rescued Kuwait - that was no mistake. A few million people in Iraq don't think what we've done was a failure or a mistake.
