I'm kinda more curious as how you guys feel as Yankees about the US going to war , whether it's Bush in Iraq or Obama (foolishly, IMO) sending more troops into Afghanistam.
We could have the 'Saddam was a bad guy' argument all day long.
Should the State now go into N. Korea? Iran? Should they bomb China? Cuba?



You couldn't let 9/11 happen and do nothing in response. If you have a conscience you can't watch a madman gas and torture citizens of his country and stand back and do nothing. Having said that here is how The Unknown Dictator would have handled things.

First off going into Afghanistan after Al Queda and Bin Laden was an absolute must. We needed to send a message to the people responsible for 9/11. You attack us on our home soil and we will scorch the earth until we find and destroy you, period, paragraph.

Iraq should have been put on the back burner until Bin Laden was captured but a clear message should have been diplomatically sent to Hussein-"watch how we handle this and you're next." In a perfect world we would have gone into Pakistan if needed to get Bin Laden and to hell with how the Pakistani government feels about the idea. However they have nukes so that complicates matters. Still the message should have been sent to Pakistan you hand him over or we will walk in and take him, whichever is easier for you, the U.S. really doesn't care what our presence does to your regime.

When Bin Laden is literally and figuratively disposed (and this is where Bush fucked up he didn't finish part one before starting part two) we turn to Hussein and say "we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way but either way it is going to get done." Then give him the option of giving up the reins (and not passing them on to either of his scumbag sons) and going into exile somewhere warm and tropical or having his head become the daily special on a silver platter. If he was smart he would see the writing on the wall and take the exile option. If the U.S. still held a grudge we could always send the CIA in somewhere in the Caribbean to take him out for good sometime at a later date.

If you are going to go to war against somebody or something then fucking go to war. Don't go into some foreign land and then tie one hand behind your military's back.
