All interesting and some good points! I am against overthrowing the dictatorship there at all costs.
Yes they MAY not have followed the UN security council, but we have still not seen enough evidence that there is a threat (direct or indirect) to the US, therefore it is not warranted to invade the country.
Who made the US the enforcer for the World?, yes there are travesties of human rights all over the World, will the US Government stand-up and clean this up? Not if there is no benefit to them. They have openly and secretly been putting people in power and over throwing governments for years. Supplying arms to countries then getting upset when their pawns in power use them against their own people or other countries.
I am sad anyone is dieing in this, and more worried that the US have given "warnings" to Syria and Iran about assisting Iraq. There are now men who left Iran because of Saddam coming back to the country to defend their Country....makes you think if someone doesn't like our democracy and decides to overthrow it what would you do?

Who's next China? North Korea?

I'm sorry to post my negative opinion of this war on this board, and I do hope all Brit, US & Aussie soldiers stay safe, but I don't condone this action.

Flame me if you want....
