War on Terror Options

[USCavalry]

so what do you all think about the war on terror? is it justified? is it looking hopefull?

i think it's a load of bs, how does hunting for bin laden in Afghanistan turn into what we now have in Iraq? WMDs were non existent. The only viable reason for going to Iraq in my mind would fall under the category of libertion, but i don't think that was worth what we got ourselves and iraq into.

^ It's not like he was the only one though. What about Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, etc? Saddam was no worse. Look at all the Cubans escaping Communism into Florida - I think something should have been done about Cuba before Iraq. They're only 90 miles off the coast of Florida. [/offtopic]

But reguardless, I think Saddam having weapons was just an excuse for us.

Actually, Cuba agreed to stop what they were doing, they may not like us anymore, but they are within UN sanctions. North Korea is sitting down and speaking with the UN, and as for Iran, its only time before we are at war with them, so thats not a good argument. Cuba is not that bad actually, I am guessing you have never been there. Castro is a diplomat that has his countries interest in his mind, he just doesn't show it much.

Saddam having weapons was a reason to go to war, and it apparently worked. He is out of power and dead, and we are STILL looking for WMD's, until they have combed that entire country with a toothbrush they could be anywhere.

^ Yeah, it's sad that people are dying and coming back with PTSD when there could've been other ways to handle the issues in Iraq than sending troops over.

Well, the UN is suppose to keep countries from not going to war, and well look how that ended.

I will admit they are getting some headway with North Korea, but that is only because China would LOVE to take over the NK.
