Here we go....
I'll give you abbreviated answer because you already know the answer.
9/11 changed the way we opperate. We aren't going to allow another 9/11. THUS...the BUSH doctrine (which, as I've mentioned before I don't agree with the Iraq invasion).
Governments which aid terrorists are no different than terrorists. The entire UN...NOT JUST THE US...firmly believed that Sadaam had WMDs which he would use against his neighboors given the chance. (HE DID have WMDs which is demonstrated by his prior use of them against the Kurds...where were you when Sadaam killed 5,000 of his own country-men??? Did you complain about that???) The Baath government would not allow UN inspections and didn't cooperate. We made it clear that if inspections weren't allowed than we'd remove him from power.
Sadaam chose to ignore the UN and it forced our hand. Bush's government then decided to invade Iraq and remove that dictator. Now Sadaam is on trial...THANKS BE TO GOD!!!
Since then I think it's clear that the majority of Iraqi citizen casualties have been killed by the cowardly suicide bombers and terrorists. They've targetted Mosques, schools, police men, and oil production plants. MOSQUES...Why are these "brave warriors" as you've called them bombing Mosques????
79% of eligible Iraqis braved threats of violence and death and voted. WHY????????
You know why the US invaded Iraq. Sadaam's government had every chance to aviod war. Now the enemy of Iraq is the same enemy of the US...the Terrorists who like to blow up crowds of innocent people.
