Why Did We Go To War?
It's a question that many seem to be getting bored of, but at the end of the day, thousands of people have died at our country's hands, and I don't think the question has been answered yet.
Was it just for oil? To oust Saddam? Just because America wanted someone it could order about but would share half of the blame? God told George and Tony to?
None of these are particularly inspiring answers. Even the "oust Saddam" option seems to have lost it's shine now, especially when we seem to be doing a far warse job, and as much torturing, as Saddam ever did. Any suggestions? And the real question is, as the electorate, are we going to accept it?
