Sure it was a good decision...one that should have occurred 10 years ago. Libya giving up its nukes is one good reason; terrorists losing a good friend is another; Abdul Khan being forced to shut down down his nuclear proliferation business is another; getting rid of Hussein is another; the establishment of a friendly government in Iraq is another, the increased pressure on the Iranian government, Arafat's loss of a key supporter, Al Queda's loss of a 'brother in arms'...the list goes on and on.
Of course

Of course
Since we had to take the fight to them, Iraq was a good second move. I fully support the actions in Iraq. I wish we could do away with PC fighting though.
Benass,
I could give a fuk what other countries think. We are doing all the heavy lifting and when needed America is the only country that can respond around the world. I guarantee France and Germany love our dollars.

Taking care of Iraq was a good and wise decision,based on the simple fact that the invasion of Iraq was a continuation of the UN resolutions from 1991 (17 of them).Bush 1 did not take Saddam out (1st gulf war).Why? Because the UN did not approve of it.The result was sanctions through resolutions and Inspection all of which were shit on by Saddam.Inspectors were kicked out and the sanctions were turned in to a money making scam by the pygmies at the UN...Thats for openers.
Now, if you look back to after WWI Germany agreed to the Versailles treaty.Here are some of the terms of that treaty.
limitation of Germany's army to 100,000 men with no conscription, no tanks, no heavy artillery, no poison-gas supplies, no aircraft and no airships;
the limitation of the German Navy to vessels under 100,000 tons, with no submarines;
Of course this was left unchecked by the appeasers and the league of nations...Soooo,1 Pearl Harbor, 1 Adolf Hitler an 40 to 60 million murders later were attributed to the policys of the talkers and appeasers....sound familiar?
Saddam & sons in fact supported and harbored terroist.The left and the appeasers would have you think that Al Queda is known to be everywhere in the world but Iraq.But they were there and they did have connections.Did they conpire for 9/11? Probably not.Do you think everything is documented? Hardly.Was Saddam a sworn enemy of the US? Yes.Did Saddam seek yellow cake uranium to build nuclear bombs.YES!!Has he used WMD before?Yes.Did John Kerry,John Edwards,Bill Clinton GW Bush, Tony Blair all make public statments to the fact that regime change MUST be made in Iraq based on intelligence they were given by the CIA,British intelligence and UN intelligence? YES!
We went to war with the country of Iraq because it was a gathering threat to us and the region.
Did it have WMD?Yes, saddam and sons...did it have the other stuff? No. Did we know that before we invaded.No.Are you willing to gamble another 40-50 million murders, based on the fact a mad man may not have WMD???
As a matter of fact i'd be the first to sign a petiton of impeachment of GW Bush if he DIDN"T go to Iraq based on the above FACTS.
On the other hand I am very disappointed and pissed that the after Saddam planning was so piss poor. Bush et al should be takin to task on that....For all you we invaded the wrong country cooks.Don't worry Iran is next.
