Well, from what I've gathered from your posts, you don't fully understand the situation that led to war in Iraq. You're getting bits and pieces, but not the whole thing. You also may just be a pacifist. Learning more about it may help you see that it is justfied, or you might still think there was not an immediate threat or reason to go. But either way, there's a lot that you missed.

Another reason why Bush might have started the war is the simple reason taht his dad tried the same thing, and Bush just wanted to continue his father legacy.

Bush 41 didn't try the same thing, Desert Storm was about getting Saddam out of Kuwait, not get him out of power. That is ultimately why we never took him out of power, which I believe was a mistake, but we can't change the past. If you want to use this as a reason to go to war, I must ask you why. Why would Bush 43 want to take Saddam out of power? For no other reason other than his father's administration they choose to leave him in? I would argue that you need to dig deeper, into was leaving Saddam in power and bad thing, and why would George W. Bush want him out of power. When you answer that question, you have uncovered one of the reasons to go to war.

Another thing that has been curious to me is the fact taht the first thing the US does is go into Iraq and disarms them, and then wages a war on them!!!!!!!!!!
|
This falls into the UN thing. It's not like we walked in, took their weapons away so they had nothing to fight with, and then attacked them. The UN had imposed regulations on Iraq after the first gulf war, which said they needed to destroy all existing chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and stop the production of them. It also put restrictions on the range of their missles, so they couldn't attack Israel and other neighboring countries with long range missles. If they need missles for defense only, then they need to travel no further than the country's border. That basically covers the rest of what you said there as well.

He is hiding, in the nasty mountainous regions of northern Pakistan where it's nearly impossible to find someone.

A generalization I have no idea what you're basing it on. Please explain.
