Bush said we went there because WMD WERE THERE Which Clinton also said. And the UN said. They may have been wrong, they may have been right, we don't know at this point. But the question now, for me at least, is not why we went, but whether it was right to go. A good action taken for the wrong reasons is still a good action. Frankly, I think the people on the ground there have a better grasp onf the situation than I do, sitting nearly half way across the globe and never having set foot in the Middle East in my life. If soldiers really are indoctrinated to believe that their cause is just, then there would have been universal support in Vietnam for that war. Which, of course, there wasn't. So the indoctrination argument doesn't hold much weight with me, frankly. I don't think our soldiers are that stupid. In fact, those I know certainly aren't.
