27. WTF?
Anyone that argues Roosevelt attacked the wrong country is too stupid to even talk to.

Roosevelt didn't attack fuckin Mexico for God's sakes (as Richard Clarke mentioned), which would be a better analogy of our invasion of Iraq. He attacked two nations ALLIED against the US, which had declared war. As far as I know Saddam had not declared war on the US.

Hitler declared war on the US shortly after the US declared war on Japan, following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.

At this point we are the equivalent of the Japanese, extremely hungry for resources, attacking and invading countries unjustifiably which ultimately pose no threat to us (it might be argued that the US posed a geater military threat to the Japanese than Saddam posed to us).
