There are dozens of other countries where human rights are being violated in huge fashion. Africa is a huge mess and we need to be there. The US and other nations were there, but we left because of a lack of public support. But what would have happened if we had huge public support for this operation in Africa? Perhaps we would have been much more involved. Perhaps we would still be there, and perhaps maybe Africa would be a better place today.
And of course there is no doubt in my mind that there was many reasons for invading Iraq, starting with oil.
Show me the money already.
