If a couple of nutters from Portugal bombed a building in Washington, would you support the invasion of Spain?

Saddam attempted to make Iraq a secular nation but it was, and is populated by Muslims. If any country is hostile towards the USA and is providing safe harbor...or financial aid to terrorists...they are subject to having their country dismantled.
I will repeat that the reasons for the invasion of Iraq were multiple and primarily strategic in nature. Saddam was a fool and made himself and his country a likely and easy first target.
