Iraq invaded kuwait. We went to war with Iraq. Iraq surrendered. Part of the terms of their surrender was for full unfettered access to all UN prohibited arms, all nuclear facilities, all chemical and biological weapons and facilities.
What this means is that in order for us to stop bombing you into the stone age, you *will* abide by this agreement.
Sadaam didn't abide by this agreement. After 9/11 being an enemy of ours who has not complied with its surrender and who is very likely to give terrorists WMDs if possible, it was time to clean up the mess that clinton allowed to fester.
We declared war against terrorism, not simply bin laden.
We're now killing terrorists in Iraq instead of America.

UN also told Israel not to build a wall in someone elses land, but where is the enforcement?
If every rule that has been broken had received such response, like invasion of a country.... well nevermind, there isn't possibly such amount of resources to do that, so they'll chose to work on what profits the most, for certain people.
And who do you hold responsible for Iraq "not abiding" with the agreement? Thousands of civilians who lost their lives? Their families? Millions of workers losing jobs? Oh, I'm sure they learned their lesson now, and will stop supporting terrorism.
Now if I say USA (by that i mean certain powers in the administration) decided to create excuses to invade Iraq, and most likely with the help of certain puppets that have been installed during the previous invasion, I know I will get blamed for making up controversies.
I'm just shocked how anyone is thinking this war was the most effective way that US government could come up with to fight terrorism. And I am sick of arguments such as, "at least they did something, and democrats woundn't do anything". Well guess what, "doing something" is not acceptable. We should be expecting these officials to come up with the best possible solutions against these type of problems.
I have never seen a country go to a war with so much opposition from its own people, even though it has followed such a tragic event.
And it's ironic you blame clinton for the dot com crash and mention the increase % of homeownership as a success.. Just watch what's gonna happen in a few years when interest rates start going up again and people buying homes today start defaulting on their loan payments.
