Ok I'm getting irritated by all the people out there who claim that they are in the know about Iraq. Most claim that we are here because our government lied to us. I guess 4 years clouds the memory pretty good. So here is a little refresher for all you out there who claim that you were lied to. The reason we are here is because of a U.N. mandate that Saddam had to allow weapons inspectors into all possible storage areas by a certain date. That date came a went without him allowing the inspectors in. Since the U.N. would not back up their own resolution it fell to the two countries that had dealt with Saddam invading allied nations in the past. Or did we forget about that part too? He had already proven his lack of willingness to to allow other countries to exist. So a few nations of the world decided it was time to put him in complete check. The reason we are still here is that once he fell from power the same people involved in 9/11 started recruiting for the local populations, hence Al-qaida in Iraq. Then on the other hand since we are not well liked by Iran you have a group that has close ties to them. So my question is do we pull out and let these two groups build up and attack us at home or do we stay and finish the fight? Hummmmmmmmmmm make you think don't it.
