John > Most Americans now say that sending U.S. troops to Iraq was a mistake <

And next week it will be something else again. The reason they are now saying it was a mistake is simply on the basis of a perceived cost-benefit analysis, not because it was a war crime. They thought Iraq was a free-lunch, with oil on tap, now they find out it was anything but.

While the "quick buck" dominates peoples' thinking, and not right and wrong, they will always be in trouble and make wrong decisions. What I can't understand is why don't the people learn anything from their professed religious belief?

It was wrong to have gone into Iraq -- period -- for any proper reason, and there were none. This is not something about which one's opinion can vacillate.
