Bush attacked Iraq only a few months after September 11th. Iraq did not attack the US. It was attacked on the mere suspicion of weapons of mass destruction, a story that later turned out to be the result of confabulation. A fancy way to say, somebody lied.

And the war in Afghanistan is still without resolution. Some people even at the time did not think causing a war in one of the poorest countries of the world was really justifiable, no matter who attacked us. The collateral damage and chaos caused by war can render violence unjustified if there is no sense of proportionality to the violence suffered.

Ok I have two points to make about your post.

1. Not fully true. Yes the information that there were active WMD in Iraq was not turned out to be true. But Bush had evidence that there were WMD from Khidhir Hamza a scientist working on Saddam's nuclear program testified that the program was ongoing. So there were some evidence that there was an active program. But what our soldiers found were WMD from the past program and not any evidence of an ongoing program.

2. Afghanistan war was fully justified. Let's not forget that al-Qaeda attacked the USS Cole killing 17 of our sailors in 2000. We did not go fully after Osama Bin Laden or his network then. It took an attack on our own soil on September 11th to launch an attack that the Afghan government was shielding to stop this threat. Today the government of Afghanistan is grateful to our commitment to stopping this threat. Today even the people of Afghanistan can vote and the lives of the people down there are improving (sources below). The people in Afghanistan disagree with you.

Of course in North Korea Kim acknowledges both the nuclear weapons program and is threatening to use them, both of these should not be ignored. This is a lot different and more serious then that of Iraq. North Korea should be taken seriously and a pre-emptive strike is fully justified. We have tried talks, aid, sanctions, warnings of military strike and nothing has worked. At a point we must say enough is enough and take out the threat before it can be carried out. A nuclear strike would be devastating and we have a window to take out North Korea's nuclear capabilities before they can hit us.

Our government is in dire straits whenever a party hates the leader of the USA so much that they put that hate before the welfare of the citizens. I pray daily for the USA.

Very sad and true.

If you think it is right for the US and allies to overthrow Saddam, then it meant the persecution of Christians got dramatically worse since. With it there was a huge exodus of Christians fleeing Iraq. Under Saddam there were at least one Million Christians living in IRaq, yet since then that number been drastically reduced. Also under Saddam there were no terrorist attacks on Christian Churches in Iraq. They did not fear of being bombed or shot at while attending Church. Also Christians were murdered just because they were Christian. In addition there were Christians that either had the choice to convert to Islam, or pay the religious tax or be killed in Post Saddam Iraq. But I guess there are many Americans that think the Iraqi Christians are the wrong type of Christians.

Do you remember the Iraqi that toppled the Saddam Statue? He since regrets it, due to the violence greatly increased since his overthrow. The Guy Who Toppled Saddam Hussein's Statue Wishes He Hadn't

In addition Christians were promoted into Leadership positions, as Saddam saw them as a lesser threat than the Shia Muslims who where the Majority of Iraq population.

None of the 9/11 attackers were from Iraq btw. Most of them were from Saudi Arabia.

BTW, Seoul is now 60% Christian (South Korea is 30% Christian overall), which means starting a war there unnecessarily is going to kill a lot of Christians.

And indeed, Nagasaki, the location of the second atom bomb detonation in Japan, was the home of Christianity in Japan. There were a lot of Catholics in Nagasaki, and many of them died in the bomb blast. It's not clear that the US Army was aware of that, before they approved the bombing.
