Topic: Was the invasion of Iraq necessary, can they fight back?

First off, do not listen to the media, I know they are supposed to tell the truth but they lie as much as Bush. I have seen letters written by very angry Soldiers in Iraq because they went out on patrol, a bomb went off, nobody was hurt but when they turned on CNN they were being told that 2 died and several more were wounded. The soldiers were upset and those of us at home are left to believe that we are hated by all Iraqis and that we are there oppressing the people.

Now, with that said, I will continue.

I believe the war was justified, we should have finished Saddam during Desert Storm, since we did not do that he was left in power, he then went and committed more crimes against the Kurds and plotted to kill President Bush Sr. that alone justifies a war in my opinion. The UN had 12 years to fix the problems in Iraq, I believe the US should be given the same amount of time.

And Iraq isn't the problem, the problem is still Al Qaeda, they are bringing in foreign fighters to fight in Iraq, they do not have to worry about the safety of their families as they are not in the country that they are fighting in. To truly win in Iraq I believe we must get rid of Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
