but i thought we were evil for killing women and children in Iraq?

I dont really think going to iraq was a means to finish dads work, maybe 1% played into it.

but i believe it was because we laid waste to the taliban in 4 airstrikes. They had no army, no govt, nothing was there. Bin Laden was on the run. Iraq was the only real country in our sights we could turn democratic. It was begging for regime change, and Saddam had defied the UN for 12 years.

Im not going to say we SHOULDNT gave gone in, at the time we were looking for a way to exert our power, and to tell the muslim extremeists to fuck off.

Iraq qwas the only one that fit that bill and could be turned democratic.

Taking over afghanistan would have done nothing but , and still will do nothing.

IMO of course
