Maybe the fact that we made a pre-emptive strike


Wrong.


Maybe the fact that we took action without approval from the UNSC


Wrong and irrelevant.


we have an administration that has a doctrine that states


Correct. Thankfully.


To suggest that protesting this war is tantamount to condoning the slaughter that Saddam beset upon his people belies an extremely narrowminded view of the events at hand.


Correct. Cheap shot rebound syndrome. Sucks doesn't it. Since I am a 'war mongering blood-for-oil sucking baby-killing Nazi ignoramous with no soul' I have no sympathy for those on the receiving end of the cheap shots right now. Can't take it, don't give it out.


Here's a question for you.....what are your thoughts on the Reagan Administration, who were aware of the atrocities Saddam was committing on his own people yet stood by and did nothing (except offer further military assistance!!)?????


Disgraceful. Like Bush 1 abandoning the Shiite and Kurd uprising. It's the type of policy we can no longer accept; we know the cost is too high. Republicans were not the only short sighted ones but let's leave these two examples stand as lessons.
