Saddam Captured - Your Thoughts... - Page 2

I do seem to recall that the reason why this Gulf War II started was that Iraq possed an actual threat with weapons of mass-destruction that could be deployed with 45 minutes.
Most people seem to have forgotten that, and seem to think it was all about getting rid of Saddam Hussain. I don't think it's a bad thing he's captured - but now it seems to me that all that crap about W.o.M.D. was just a facade to get in, and change the regime. And I don't like that idea one bit. A regime, how terrible it might be, is still a country's internal affair. And if the people in such a country do not like that regime, they should do something about that themselves. It is not up to the US, the UK, Andorra, or whatever country to decide some other country's regime has to change. That's like France invading the US to get rid of that Bush fellow.
So to sum it up: I don't think it's a bad thing Saddam is gone, but I do think that this Second Gulf was has been fought for all the wrong reasons, as the prime objectory (the location and disarming of weapons of mass destruction) is still not met. And I don't have high hopes it will be.

And for Bush being the lesser of two evils - I say it's just by a small margin, and I sincerly hope that he won't be re-elected next year.
