[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]And the anti-war advocates have been countering this by arguing that if getting rid of a brutal dictator were the motive for invasion, the US should be gearing up for worldwide conflict. Morally right, what a crock.[/QUOTE]Stop putting words into my mouth, please. I'm not saying that the political reasons are justified. I'm still convinced that at least part of the reason Bush and Cheney got focused on Iraq was because of the oil. I'm still of the opinion that it would have been better to get a consensus in the UN before attacking. I'm *not* saying that the US military should attack half the countries in the world because their leaders aren't nice people. I'm just saying that seeing the Iraqis celebrating makes this conflict seem worth it. I'm looking for the positive benefits. As far as the WMDs are concerned... considering that the UN couldn't find them, and that Hussein's people had twelve years to shuffle them around, and that so far the majority of the "coalition" troops are still in combat and support operations, I expect it's going to take weeks or months before any truly solid evidence is found, analyzed, and announced. Personally, I'm convinced they're there and will be found. [/QB][/QUOTE]
