no iraq was not a mistake yes he lied to us but saddam was a hitler worshiping leader who killed 100 of thousands of his own countiemen and women and children and called it ethnic cleansing. he used chemical weapons in his own country and his neighboring countries.if he had the chem. weapons he would of used them cause that is what he did in the 80's but everyone seems to forget his deathcamps and mass grave sites.i believe if you object to the war right now you probly would of felt the same in wwII against hitler.and we lost more soldiers in one day than weve lost in this war. so keep on protesting and be glad your not speaking german ,because if there were more people like you in the 40's we'de be speaking german.
