In reply to the discussion: Maddow Calls Bush Library’s ‘DECISION POINTS’ Game ‘A NATIONAL SCANDAL’ [View all]dem in texas
(2,681 posts)The fact that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (if Bush really believed this) should not have ever come into to the decision. It was a totally immoral decision. Do we kill people who have not attacked us or provoked us in any way? American should take this war as a lesson not to trust and believe everything that the top officials tell you. There was underlying greed to get the oil in Iraq, racism and wanting revenge for 9/11, this was real reasons for the Iraq war. The story of WMD was cooked up and the American people were lied to and as a result thousands of innocent women and children were killed.
The so called "journalists" of the day really let the American people down by not doing a better job in reporting what was really going on. They should hang their heads in shame. The ministers in the churches in the US should also hang their heads in shame for not speaking out against this war.
