The is against Saddam Hussein, his sons, and the rest of his regime. And NOT against Iraqi civilians..atleast according to the US government.
Regardless of what you may think of the US government, I think that the only good that will come out of this war is that Saddam will be gone. This is the same guy who in his first meeting after he came into power announced that there were traitors amongst him. During that meeting, he called out names for several government officials, many who were his best friends. How SICK is that? I wish that this could have been done in a more peaceful manner, because the Iraqi people have suffered enough already.
However, one thing concerns me. The US is waging a war in Iraq. They have their military to the east in Afghanistan. They have Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. What lies in the center? IRAN. You can assume that because Iran is part of the "Axis of Evil", that the US government will be prefectly ready to invade Iran in the future...the US also has its hands full with North Korea and Al Qaeda...
I just have a really bad feeling about this.
