Let me tell you my beliefs, right or wrong, regarding the WMD issue:
1. There probably were WMDs, although moved into Syria a long time before the war began, or buried somewhere in a country the size of California.
2. What happened on 9/11 , given the status of terrorists in the middle east, had to be responded to with overwhelming force with no doubt as to the message. Afghanistan is a rubble of a country, it really does not count. A relatively "modern" Arab country had to be attacked in order for a crystal clear message to be sent to radical countries supporting terrorism. That message is...look what happened to Iraq, you F with us one more time, it happens to you. Iraq was the perfect target, their regime was dispicable and killing their own countrymen everyday.
That is what I believe, you may not subscribe to it, however, that is my personal theory. |
