| "All the wars that you listed except for the Spanish American war, which is a lot like Iraq, were taking place before we became involved and the posed a very real threat to our country." |
I defy you to explain to me how America was threatened in WWI, Korea, Vietnam, etc.
| "The Iraq war was a preemptive war of choice against a country that had no capability to attack the United States." |
If world history begins for you in 2003, maybe. For the rest of us, we recall that there was another war, which led to a ceasefire, which Hussein violated. We recall Hussein paying bounties to suicide bombers, continuing his threats, importing weapons technology, trying to arrange assassinations, etc.
So... if you want to make the case that we were somehow more threatened by Korea or Vietnam than we were Hussein, knock yourself out. You'll need something more than exclamation points, though!!!
| "We too would fire on foreign military aircraft that would fly across our country" |
Hussein agreed to the terms of that agreement, and they were there specifically to prevent him from slaughtering Kurds and Shia. Something you don't consider to be of much import, evidently. That sounded eerily like you actually thought Hussein had a RIGHT to shoot at our planes.
