Reply #10: Don't forget Israel [View All]

I think we also have to consider the threat posed to Israel, both direct and indirect, from Iraq. Sadam gave money to the families of suicide bombers. He gave money to groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. He had weapons (such as they were) aimed to strike at Israel, as he did in the first Gulf War. I think if American forces hadn't struck so quickly and covered so much ground, then Sadam would have attacked Israel again.

We certainly cannot allow another goverment hostile to Israel to come back into power in Iraq.
