Wars should not be fought on the basis popularity for that action, they should be fought based on the beliefs of the nations fighting the war. I believe that invading Iraq was the right choice because I saw Saddam as an oppressive dictator who had butchered his own people as well as those of his neighbors and needed to be removed from office. I think it is sad that the military was forced to try and fight this was with one arm behind it's back because the people as a whole would not allow the Army and Marines to commit the numbers of troops necessary to ensure we could do what needed to be done. What we really need to do is take the politicians out of the equation, you know, once the bullets start flying just give them something shiny and put them all in one large room, they could entertain themselves forever.
