Doctors Without Borders Pulls Out Of World Humanitarian Summit, Says It No Longer Has Hope

38. If you remember, the moral justification for the Iraq invasion was that Saddam Hussein had chemical

weapons and that he had already used them on his own people. Exactly the kind of stuff Doctors Without Borders is talking about. The USA and United Nations passed resolutions demanding that Hussein give up the weapons of mass destruction under threat of war. When he refused we invaded. No chemical weapons were found. Some believe the chemical weapons Syria has include those from Iraq. Some believe that Bush lied about the chemical weapons. The Clinton Administration thought he had them too.

I think we all agree that the invasion was a huge mistake. That the USA does not rush in to prevent the atrocities Doctors Without Borders is talking about could be to keep from repeating that mistake. Sometimes we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
