Had the US not done that, the Germans would have probably managed to break GB, and the war would have gone entirely different.
#2: The only reason Pearl Harbor happened was because everyone knew the US would get involved in the war sooner or later. There had already been several indications that they were starting to get more involved. Pearl Harbor was just an attempt by the Japanese to knock down the US before they could become a real threat, and basically scare them away from the conflicts in the area.
#3: SADDAM WAS NOT A MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALIST. Really, he wasn't. No, I mean it. He actually fought a big fucking war against the theocracy of Iran. The fundamentalist Shia groups in his own country hated him with a passion.
If anything, his fall will help muslim fundamentalism gain a foothold in Iraq.
#4: Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
#5: It was not 9/11 that brought the US back in the middle east. The US have supported Israel for many years now, they also support Turkey, and remember when the last Gulf War took place?
The US didn't get brought back to the middle east, they never left.

#1) Britain is and was an ally. What's wrong with helping a brother out? We didn't sucker punch the other guy when we probably should have. We fucked up, hence Pearl Harbor - the rest is history.
#2) Try to knock us down? Well, I guess they hit the wrong target. Before we could become a REAL THREAT? We were the threat. Think about it for a second.
#3) He may not be one per sey - but just because he has an organized version of Al Quaeda doesn't make it any better. Do you think he would have a problem helping out some fellow Muslims with similar ideas and anti West beliefs? There are many reports out there that Atta from the Twin Towers had ties to Iraq and Saddam's inner circle.
#4) Directly? Maybe not. Indirectly? Absolutely. If he could have sunk a 20 megaton ICBM into Manhattan he would have a long time ago. He preaches this anti Western crap, and people listen. Then small sects of idiots like Al Quaeda pop-up. Why? Propaganda from dickwads like Saddam.
#5) They were "Brought Back". Do you think all these troops were there when it started? What about the ones going over now? Were they there too? Read into my statements and don't take everything I hahahahaha so literally. I know there were people there before this started. Just nowhere near the number there are now.
