That's the same lie they told us about Viet Nam. Stop them there or we'll have Commies invading our beaches, The Domino theory, blah blah blah.
Iraq was no threat. They'd been decimated by Daddy Bush's war. They were contained. Containment worked on the mighty USSR with all their nukes. Iraq was chump change to keep contained.

But no, the Bush League wanted a war so badly they lied to us. Over and over they lied, and the masses believed them. Even Kerry believed them and voted to give the President the authority to attack without a formal declaration of war from congress. Nobody thought that Bush would lie so blatantly. Some people *still* believe the lies BushCo told.

The Iraquis are doing the same thing a whole lot of patriotic Americans would do if another country invaded us. Remember, to the government at the time, Sam Adams and Paul Revere were terrorists.

re We're fighting the Islamic terrorists in Iraq instead of on your doorstep. Why is that difficult to understand?
