Reply #32: I'm surprised to hear that there was any support for invading Iraq here. [View All]

I didn't find out about DU until this past spring (after the primaries, thankfully), so I wasn't around then, but I was never, ever in favor of invading Iraq.

I didn't believe anything Shrub said at the time, but what really upset me was this - even if Iraq had had WMD, how did that make it good policy for us to invade???

We know that North Korea, China, Pakistan, India, and various other countries (some of which are very unfriendly to the U.S.) have nukes. You don't see us invading them, right? Right. Because it would be STUPID.

That's what invading Iraq was. Stupid. And evil. And then, on top of that, Rumsfeld and Co totally botched it! No surprise really, since it's to be expected that stupid idiots will continue being stupid idiots, which is why I'm not surprised that they're now talking about poking a stick at Iran. Stupid stupid stupid.
