The writing is on the wall, question is if we did pull from the world stage how much of the world would be civilized 10 years after?

Yes, i will ask this question to the burned Vietnamese trees and town and to the destroyed towns in Iraq in the infinite search for the "fake mass destruction weapons" and so on.
Most of the Americans politicians are sick and having hidden agendas that's why many people around the world hate them but this doesn't mean that they hate the American citizens.

Little tip. WMDs were found in Iraq. I was part of the crew that found some. I recieve a pension because I was exposed, accidentally, (leaky Iraqi scud missle) to a nerve agent. The tips of my fingers and toes are numb, no feeling and eventually it will Spread and probably kill me. Does my medical paperwork state that? Nope. It says I was exposed to a chemical that is used to clean oil pipes, hexavaliant chromium. I was told in no uncertain terms that if I spoke out or went to the media then I would loose my pension.

We were given amunizatiosn for anthrax and small pox before we went.

Now 40 miles west of the Syrian border in a bunker 20 feet underground is where we found the chemical weapons. The packaging said property of US government. Regan gave the weapons to saddam and he used them against Iran. No better way to field test a weapon then to give it to someone who will use it.

Point is the war was not about removing a dictator and finding WMDs to show the world, it was about finding our weapons we gave to him and making sure no one found out.

The US was worried about saddam and afraid of his fall. If that happened then whoever took over might use and/or report that they had US provided chemical weapons. We did a preintive strike removing saddam and making the weapons vanish.

On a side note. Saddam was a sick and twisted individual that the people are better off without even with all the chaos we caused.
