I get confused on the whole Iraq issue, because yes we're killing some innocent people etc, but yes Saddam has killed many more blah blah...

But the thing is, we didn't go in there because Saddam killed his people (some guy bursts in saying "Yeah we went in there for oil! NO BLOOD FOR OIL!"), we went in there because they thought Iraq was a threat... Not to his own people, but to us, our allies, or the stability of the region... whatever...

Then when they find no weapons and people raise questions, the administration changes what they say to be "SADDAM KILLED A TON OF HIS OWN PEOPLE!" which kinda turns the table and makes people who say we shouldn't have gone in in the first place look evil...

Not to mention back when Bush was "Presidential hopefull" or nominee or what have you, he said stuff like "I don't think our troops should be used for what's called nation building"...

and "I'm not so sure the role of the United States is to go around the world and say this is the way it's got to be. ...I just don't think it's the role of the United States to walk into a country and say, we do it this way, so should you."
