"The WMD issue may have been exagerated and used as a pretext, but the result was benevolent, and riteous."

I don't really like political debates because they don't lead anywhere. But your above statement cries out for examination.

What you are saying is that the result of a lie actually turned out to be benevolent, and righteous in the end. Therefore, that lie was justified?

Many would argue with your first premise, that is to say that the result is righteous and benevolent. Those arguing with you may even be many Iraqis, and they may have had nothing to do with the previous regime.

I have no love for Sadam Hussein. I have no ill will against Americans. But I hate lies, and to accept a lie is to acknowledge to the liar that yes, I am a fool.
