No.

We were led into the war under false pretenses.

No, was Hitler justified in invading Poland. For the sake of world peace, a countrys' soveriegn borders deserve to be respected imo, unless you are given a solid reason to attack.

The USA, Britain and France have chemical/biological weapons; should Russia or some other country give the same reason to invade those countries?

Besides if Iraq tried anything against the USA, the USA could just wipe the floor with them.

It's my opinion the war wasn't justified, but that's just what it is an opinion, much like pro-war people have theirs.

No way. It's the worst decision of the Bush presidency and will tarnish his otherwise not so bad presidency.

I'll just leave this here that showed even Nancy Pelosi knew that 500 shells were found after 2003.

What do you call mustard gas artillery shells then? What about VX gas?

The more time goes by, the less justified it seems, especially in light of the Arab Spring, which is starting to be revitalized in Iraq's Sunni heartland as we speak, and the sheer amount of influence and leverage both Al Qaeda and Iran now have in the country.

[QUOTE="thebest31406"][QUOTE="LiquidAjax"] They were found. The inspectors weren't allowed in anyways. Yes that does justify a war, because they were used on their own people.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="thebest31406"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Dude seriously. I'm not for the Iraq War but that is common knowledge.:|LiquidAjax

No, it wasn't, and I honestly question the judgment of people who still think it was.

Coming from somebody who thinks the Iraq War was justified, I'll go ahead and take that as a compliment.

I don't think "justified" is a concept that necessarily applies to war. I do think the Iraq war was a mismanaged bungle of the highest order.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="thebest31406"] War is only justified if state attacks or plans to attack the US. Also, when did Saddam use weapons against his people?thebest31406

[QUOTE="LiquidAjax"] So ignorant.LiquidAjax

That ridiculous logic could be used to justify sooooo many wars, which is the reason that war should almost always be used as a last resort.

When out of arguments, change the subject.
