The war against Iraq was done for geo-strategic purposes. By eliminating Saddam as a threat to Saudi Arabia, we were able to move our troops out of Saudi. By taking over Iraq, we will be able to build a regime in a central part of the region that is friendly to the US. Iraq also has tons of oil, which will help keep oil flowing at market prices...
Oh and look at he map. Iran is now sourrounded by US troops both in Afganistan, and Iraq. We are bordering Syria as well.
The US now has a new base of operations in a toubled part of the world.... hopefully we can stabilize it like we did Europe after WWII. It is going to take a lot of hard work, a lot of money, and a lot of patience.... and 40-50 years!
The part of overthrowing a evil dictator who killed tens of thousdands of inncoent people, who raped, gassed his own people, started numerous wars, and had in the past had chemical/biological weapons - that is just a PLUS. ( It did give the US reason to move in....)
You guys get all worked up because you do not understand how the game works.... Real Politik... its the way Nations have been dealing with one another since the begining of time.
