I totally agree Rhody. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, doesn't matter. We screwed up....Actually I did not vote for Bush. I don't like to feel like I am responsible for 90,000+ dead Iraqi's.
Yes, I do think the UN has relevance. I don't think they did much about things when the US declared war because they knew that America does not take terrorist attacks lightly. I think the UN would have approved war, but not until some other options and the full support of other countries were taken into account. If Iran decides to take over Iraq without the consent of the UN, the world will fight Iran, no doubt. The conservatives didn't realize this the first time when King Bush used 9/11 & WMD to invade Iraq.
Trust me, I don't think it was a bad idea that Saddam was removed....but I don't think 90,000+ innocent people should have died because of it. IMHO Bush should be tried for war crimes including genocide.
