I disagree that it has "nothing to do with humanitarian reasons." Humanitarian relief of Saddam's victims was not just foreseeable but inevitable, and welcome.

Unfortunately, we don't intervene enough on behalf of human rights victims, and I honestly wish we would.

I'd love it if we protected the Sudanese Christians from their Muslim torturers and murderers. Naturally, I'd feel the same if Christians were torturing and murdering Muslims, but that was Kosovo, and we were there.

No, that's not what I said. I said.

And I agree, the US isn't in Iraq for humanitarian reasons.

I should have added "only", however.

We are in Iraq because we are upholding the UN committment, and above all, President Bush has declared a War on Terrorism....and any nation that harbors terrorists...
