What Saddam’s Regime Does
By Matt Margolis | March 18, 2003
It takes a lot to shock people these days… but I doubt many people could read this article and not be shocked, and not then support the United States liberating Iraq.
See men shredded, then say you don’t back war
What do you think????

What do I think? It is a post-hoc rationalization. You can look up what that means if you don’t know. Why aren’t we liberating Saudi Arabia? Or Chechnya, Or the Sudan, Or China, Or Columbia. If you still believe this war was about liberating Iraqis, you are truly a sucker.

So, based on what you’ve said, the liberation of Nazi concentration camps is just an incidental thing that means absolutely nothing - just because that’s not what we initially went in there to do.
Many times before Operation Iraqi Freedom, Bush had certainly talked about the oppressed people of Iraq. So I don’t consider this a situation of “post hoc, ergo propter hoc.” (I can translate that for you if you’d like.)
Many protestors month and months ago said we would be hurting the Iraqi people. Yet, repeatedly since we’ve gone in there we’ve discovered in more detail the evils of Saddam’s regime against its own people. We’ve seen Iraqis for the first time in a long time enjoying that freedom.
Have I been suckered in? Certainly not. Liberating the Iraqi people may not have been the “selling point” - but it was certainly one of the reasons we went in there, and there’s no reason why we can’t look at the liberation of Iraqis and say “This is a good thing.”

There is a big difference here. The reason we went to war in WWII (Attack of Pearl Harbor, Nazi invasions in Europe) were not changed AFTER the war was undertaken.
If intelligence was hyped by this administration to mislead the country into war, it is an impeachable offense, regardless of how much “good” was done.
