you are so right. iraq was not directly threatening us, but as a muslim nation, they are, were, and will be enemies of civilization. the serbs, as a not-muslim nation, are defacto friends and allies, no matter the lies told by a president that could not keep his sausage under control. yet we joined cowardly europeans in an attack on serbia. that was 10 times the crime of our involvement in iraq.
Ten years ago today, U.S. air, sea and land forces attacked Iraq. And the great goals of Operation Iraqi Freedom?

Destroy the chemical and biological weapons Saddam Hussein had amassed to use on us or transfer to al-Qaida for use against the U.S. homeland.

Exact retribution for Saddam's complicity in 9/11 after we learned his agents had met secretly in Prague with Mohamed Atta.

Create a flourishing democracy in Baghdad that would serve as a catalyst for a miraculous transformation of the Middle East from a land of despots into a region of democracies that looked West.

Not all agreed on...
