I’ll say this again: you agree more with Bush than John or I ever did. You’re as responsible for the war as any average citizen is, so you should look deep into your soul and acknowledge your mistakes which cost thousands of American lives. Shame on you.

How would I be responsible for the war? What mistake did I make? I did not vote for any Republucan representatives or senators or Bush. My congressional district in Northern Va and my two US Senators were all pro war Republicans. They thought the invasion of Iraq was legitimate and still is legitimate like John Mace does. I have never thought the decision to invade Iraq was necessary, legitimate, ethical, rational, proper or wise or justified.

So Ravenman, do you agree with Mace in his 2003 post below that invading Iraq in March 2003 was both legitimate and justified because “S.H. did his best to violate the letter and the spirit of that disarmament plan”? I sure don’t agree with any of that Bush excuse bill crap? Why would you?

@John_Mace

I think I outlined fairly well what the US’s justifications were, and while Bush did a lousy job articulating things, it does all come down to the Gulf War of the 90s and subsequent resolutions passed to enforce the permanent disarment of S.H.s regime. It was clear to me that S.H. did his best to violate the letter and the spirit of that disarmament plan, and therefore the US was justified in invading.
Can you understand what I mean when I say that although I accept the legitimacy of the invasion, I still think it was tactically the wrong thing to do?
