No one here has suggested isolationism as an alternative except you. With that being said, maybe we shouldn't make up lies as a pretext to invade other countries? And when we do, hopefully we can admit our mistake, learn from it, and avoid revising history with more bullshit to rationalize our bullshit lies so we don't make the same mistake again.

Your answer is completely false. You provided a list of crimes against humanity which spanned decades. Saddam would still be in Iraq, still committing more crimes, if it hadn't been for our false allegations he was actively pursuing clandestine WMD programs and providing safe haven to Al-Qaeda IOT carry out attacks against the US and US citizens around the globe which presented a danger to our national security and our citizens. The threat to the US was the justification for the invasion.
Let me be perfectly clear, we invaded Iraq for our own security, not the security of Iraqi citizens. You know this or at the very least you should know; which means you are feigning ignorance or you are ignorant. I take a lot of pride in being a former NCO and it is disappointing to see a fellow former NCO act the way you are.
Quote:Your question is sort of like: Sure Hitler was bad but why did we invade Germany.
German Declaration of War against the United States, December 11th, 1941
We invaded Germany to put an end to WWII after Germany declared war on the US.
Who is guilty of blatant partisanship now?
