If you believe that only 5000 are a threat then you are an idiot,and ive always had some respect for your insite and your post but get real man there are more than you think....And no we shouldnt kill them all but as a former active marine we never should have gone in the 1st place......but since we did its time to leave we gave them there freedom and there goverment back let them now fend for themselves...
what you said can be summarized as: go to war on false pretense , kill 1000s of innocent people and, instigate a civil war, create more terrorist than you kill, steal oil, become terrorists yourself (your terrorising innocent iraqis). a soldiers uniform doesnt mean that your not a terrorist yourself..and after your realized maybe i made a mistake..lets leave em to kill each other. ( you call it letting them choose their own government..but i think you mean to run like cowards). Also who sold weapons to bin laden in the 80s? usa..who sold weapons to iran and iraq (sadam)..usa. where there is war there is usa.
there are "terrorist" in iraq (many who have come there did so after the invasion to increase the chaos that usa brought), but not everyone in iraq is a terrorist, also because someone hates you doesnt mean that they are terrorist...americans would also hate an invading force..thats just natural and doesnt equal a terrorist.
is a mass murderer just as saddam
