Re: Young Marine dies in Iraq - not just another casualty

No doubt it is an integral part. I just feel that if the war was presented to the people as it is being done now there is no way in hell we'd go.

Solely for the reason of liberating Iraq? Probably not. That's why we're not in many countries right now that have horrible, oppressive leaders. The WMD aspect and the fact that Saddam has a grudge against the U.S. gives the U.S. an interest in toppling him. Liberation for the Iraqis is the cherry on top. We're stuck with just a little ice cream and a cherry, but that cherry was still part of the sunday.

Since there are no WMDs it turns out that the only reason we went to Iraq is from regime change/ making halliburton bundles of cash.

1) No, even though there were no WMDs doesn't mean they weren't one of the chief reasons for invading. It just happened to turn out wrong.
2) From what I've heard, Halliburton hasn't made all that much off of Iraq.
