DID WE HAVE A REASON TO GO TO WAR W/ IRAQ!?!?!??

I meant them as N. Korea. They are bankrupt but don't really need the money since they've survived for so long anyway. The government will take the money if they can take it but none of it is distributed to the people of N.K. N.K. has taken a ton of aid from the U.S. in the past administration because the Clinton administration just didn't want to deal with the mess there, but when the Bush administration told the North Korea government they would work and negotiate with them they were ecstatic thinking they were going to get aid from America again, but there was a stipulation to the negotiations....China would be involved in the process and no aid unless U.S. and Chinese weapons inspectors were allowed in to dismantle any chemical, biological, and nuclear weapon capability they might have had. N.K. balked and refused China's accessibility to their country when N.K. is the foremost threat to China. N.K. isn't a huge threat to us, but they are a threat to many of our international interests and the welfare of their neighboring countries as far as Japan and India. India is quickly becoming a superpower as well. Alot of people don't even realize that India has aircraft carriers, but they do and were purchased used from the British Royal Navy. The Indian government aren't a threat since they are a friendly nation, but they are a thorn in the side of Pakistan over Cashmere and they have unusually friendly relations with Japan as well.

I'd have to say it needed to be done for several reasons (IMO):

First, I wsa in Army AIT, chemical operations school. They came out one morning telling us that we were going to war. They (Drills) showed us pictures of women and children that were just murdered by Sadaam. I still remember them today.
In this day and time, anyone that would kill the people he is supposed to protect, must be stopped.

Secondly, I trust Bush. Not that I like all of his policies and such, but he is not a bold faced liar. Remember the DWI incident that was brought up during his campaign. He didn't try to lie or weasel his way out. He did not even try to lie to the arresting officer. Since we are not privy to "all" of the deatails that go on every day, I feel I have the duty to trust my president.

I would have to agree with others when topics such as finances are brought to light. We are going to give billions to africa to fight aids, but we have aids here at home. My only opinion to that is that we would want the help of african government to not allow them to harbour terrorists that would pay big money to base themselves there.

When I question my feelings about the war in Iraq, I stop and remember how I felt watching the news on 9/11. I have never felt so helples in my life. When Bush authorized the strike on Iraq, I felt honor!!

We do not have a perfect system, but it is the best in the world!!!
