US standing. We needlessly lost lives of our military and lives of Iraqi, we should never proudly defend this invasion. It caused the eye to be diverted from seeking Osama bin Laden. Work the diplomatic route each and every time. There are going to be many countries which does not agree with our way of life, likewise we do not agree with them either.
