Post Come on, just one paragraph

I asked this question twice on the thread that is now closed, and still no takers. Come on, can't we get someone here who can write a single paragraph explaining how the War in Iraq has improved US security and improved the lot in life of the average person? Just one?

Here again is the post:

Here is a nutshell history of the Iraq War:

1) Saddam offered everything short of performing fellatio on George Bush if he didn't invade. The UN said he shouldn't invade, and UN Weapons Inspectors said he didn't have to invade.

2) Bush invaded them anyway.

3) The occupation has been an adventure where words like "incompetance", "disaster" and "catastrophe" don't even begin to cover what happened.

4) We are left with 30% of the American people who support the war, none of whom who could put into a single paragraph how the security of America has been enhanced or the lot of the country was improved by the war, while millions can easily write pages on how it has been damaged.

If you support this war, see if you can do #4

An impossible task

When you're a proponent of faith-based foreign policy, words just get in the way.

one paragraph

Now that Saddam is gone, he does not have the opportunity to develop and launch chemical or nuclear based missles at Israel and destabilize the region.

How's that?

It's the best I can do.

History has shown the Israelis did a pretty good job of that on their own, in fact they wiped out his nuclear program before we even arrived on the scene in 91. Given Saddam's army's proclivity for running away, I would also guess they could have done the invasion instead of us if they had really seen it as necessary. That also sounds like it is an enhancement to the security of the Israeli people, not those of the US. Still waiting.
