If we never went to war..
...the murdering, genocidal tyrannical dictator Saddam Hussein
would still be in Power. That much is certainly True.


Here are some other things that would be True if the U.S. had
not gone to Iraq:

- Weapons of Mass Destruction would still not have been found in Iraq.
- African Uranium would still not have been found in Iraq.
- Mobile BioWar Labs would still not have been found in Iraq.
- 803 American Troops would not have died in Iraq (so far).
- 59 Troops from the UK would not have died in Iraq (so far).
- 52 Troops from Other Countries would not have died in Iraq (so far).
- 16 Journalists would not have died in Iraq (so far).
- 10,918 Iraqi Civilians would not have died in Iraq (so far).
- 11,700 U.S. Soldiers would not have lost their Arms, Legs, Bowels,
Eyes, or Faces in Iraq (so far).
- $120,000,000,000.00 would not have been spent in Iraq (so far).
- The United States would still have Foreign Allies, with sympathy for us for 9/11.
- The War On Terrorism would have plenty of Money and Troops for Afghanistan,
where they should actually have been sent, and are still deperately needed.
- U.S. Soldiers - from Private rank to General Officer - would not be implicated
in the Humiliation, Abuse, Torture, Rape, and Murder of Iraqi Civilians, whom
the International Red Cross (previously headed up by Libby Dole, remember?)
estimates are comprised of 60%-90% Innocent Civilians caught up in Random
Sweeps, with no Intelligence Value to the U.S. military whatsoever.
- The U.S. might still be thought of - Worldwide - as the home of the Brave
and the land of the Free.
- The latest casualty of this Cycle of Abuse and Hatred - Nick Berg - would
still be alive and in one piece today.




sorry if that's a repost:scared:

1. We also could have taken out Saddam
Look how fast and cheap it was for us to take out Aristide. Maybe some variation of that technique could have worked on the Saddam gang.
