Why are we in Iraq?

Cheers!
"This is a thought provoking question. There are many schools of thought on this question and many of those involve biases, both from the conservative right and the liberal left. I must admit that I have a bias as well since I actually have been there and may return in the future.

Preface aside, here's my answer to this question: In 2001, Amnesty International issued a report on the actions (I am biased in calling them "atrocities") of Saddam Hussein" - http://www.cspan.org/resources/pdf/iraqdecade.pdf

Well everybody has their own biases. We live in a biased world.

Saddam was & is a horrible human being & his most people in Iraq are glad that he is no longer in power. Still, many people feel the same way about their dictators.

I feel the American military has been put into a very difficult & dangerous position by politicians who used thei own biases & pre-conceived notions of reality as justitication for pre-emptive war.
