"plus wreaking havoc with America's ability to defend itself, as it was"

Please Dave, explain how Iraq was doing this to us? Because, it wasn't.

If Saddam Hussein's regime is causing the deaths of 5,000 innocent Iraqis monthly,

That might be the one reason I would fight in iraq...but then it would have to be with the approval and support of the UN, not as we did it and there would have to be a clear plan to restore order and peace.

plus wreaking havoc with America's ability to defend itself, as it was, are we somehow "better off" by avoiding war?

That's a pile of bullshit...the very opposite is true....that is that the war has wrought havoc with America's ability to defend itself.

Iraq was one of those times.

You are a RW nutjob anyway. If ever there was a clear example of an avoidable war, iraq is it.
