Hmm, isn't that a bit like the Japanese blaming the U.S. for Pearl Harbor?

You're really smart, so maybe you can assist with this question: Before we invaded Iraq, were there suicide bombings every single day?


They were surpressed by a maniacle, tyrannic dictator that set about to kill Shiites and prevent them from being any part of his government. As an aside, you probably recall that Shiites are the majority population. No, you probably don't remember.


I know what you just typed, but I want to confirm something before we continue. Are you saying that Saddam's brutality was a valid reason to send our soldiers to Iraq?


I didn't say that. You did.

What I said was a response to your question, where were the suicide attacks before? Before, there were EITHER no attacks because Saddam surpressed them, or there were attacks but Saddam surpressed the news. Either way, knowing of the attacks now is a marked improvement over what was going on before.

A valid reason to send troops to Iraq would have been to enforce the Cease Fire Agreement that Saddam signed with UN forces back in 1991, then promptly ignored.

PS
I shoulda spell checked earlier, it's "maniacal" and "tyrannical".
