Because those marines with 1000s of others are doing a very dangerous job for their country to protect his way of life and mine too for that matter, think before u ask a question of that nature next time.

How is he protecting his way of life, or yours for that matter?
You have evidence that Iraq posed a threat to him, you or you're country?
If so, care to share it with the rest of us?
(Thanks for vids)

Do u really think the western world could be maintained without oil at this period in time?
Also saddam was a danger, i know that we were probably lied to but he would have gotten his weapons anyway once the inspectors would have given the all clear, even with their permanent presence thereafter.
He also showed he would be willing to use these weapons on many occasions, would u like some stolen eastern block nuke airblasted over your house?

U have also got to remember that he was not a very stable leader, i agree that he would not be stupid enough to attack the US/UK outright conventionally but i am damn sure he would have been very tempted to get the said weapon into lets say 'willing hands'.
All u have to know is that he was looking for ways to exert power over the west without loseing his own,using terrorists is the ideal way for this to happen.
It is to late for NK now but any other axis country trying to develop WMDs will face the same fate as Iraq it just cannot be tollerated to let mad men have nukes, i am sure we can agree on that.

If you stand back and think a moment, he was ordered over there, he is now under fire, he is now protecting his way of life.

Sadaam really was no threat to us at that time. That's not to say that that wouldn't have changed in the future.

Democratic countries having WMDs is very different from a 1 man dictatorship having them, a democratic country cant just launch a strike whenever it wants to ,there is a process.
With a dictatorship that does not happen if saddam wanted to he could have used WMDs without any democratic process whatsoever, i dont care what u say about his state of mind whether he would or wouldnt, in my mind the threat is not worth 'ignoring'.

It really is a shame though that no one can breath a word of support for our boys regardless of whether or not the war is right or wrong without it turning into the same old debate about that and that alone. Come on people, there are plenty of threads for that.

Devilwasp, I think you missed my point which is that any comment in support of the troops must turn to the same debate of the war. It actually has nothing to do with where I stand or where others stand on the issue.
