Through its actions the U.S. has probably put its citizens in greater danger, I'd say. Iraq had no interest in or means to attack the U.S.
Read my first post in the thread I posted. I addressed that a bunch of times because Wendy kept arguing stuff like it. You are arguing what I come across all the time, which is the idea that the war has been about a single thing. It has been about MANY things. Also, no matter what the U.S. government's intentions have been, it is still great that Iraq now has a democracy where the people actually have rights. No matter what the deal is, at least that aspect in the picture is something it seems like we should all agree is something great.
