well, if saddam and osama were allied, it would have made sense to invade iraq, as it made sense to invade afganistan. Now that is not the case and it doesnt make any sense. |
Saddam an terror were clearly allied. I didn't know that the War on GLOBAL terrorism was a war limited to just one guy. I guess I was mistaken to believe that if we just kill Osama all the islamo-facist terrorist in the world will simply give up their arms and surrender.
So because Saddam was allied with other terrorist and not Osama it gives him a green ligh to support world-wide terror in the face of global peace and tranquility?

he were allied with someone who did.

Likewise Saddam was allied with global terrorist. The USA is at war against global terrorist. Therefore the USA should be entitled to war against global terrorist allies, just like it was against Hitler's allies, no?

He was, together with hitler. Go read some history dude

But Saddam was a threat to the world too

obviously the US wanted to go for germans stronghold - europe. |
And the USA wants to go for the terrorist's stronghold - Arabia.

well, it might make sense, but thats basically the same as saying that Al quaida went to war on the american imperialism, so it makes sense for them to attack New York? Does that give them any right whatsoever to do that tho? |
Yes, if you declare war you have the right to war.
In case you haven't noticed, terrorist don't use the traditional laws of nations to wage war, they don't 'officially' declare war on you, they don't have nation-states and armies, they don't have 'official' diplomatic alliances with other nations and parties, and they don't follow the prisoners of war convnetions, geneva, etc.
IF Al Q declared war on the West, it is 'entitled' to war on the West. If Germany declares war on Poland it is 'entitled' to war on Poland, even if this seems wrong, illegal, and unfair to us. All our morality or legislation will not prevent the terrorist or prevented the germans from carrying out their war on their targets.
What would prevent them from carrying out a war is declaring war in return (as the USA has done) against the terrorist. This entitles the USA to go to war agains the terrorist and all their supporters and allies.
Saddam had declared war numerous times (through words, much like Al Q did before Sept 11th, and not 'officially') on the USA.
Should the USA have waited until Saddam was actually successful in an attack on American soil before going to war in return?
The USA congress authorized the USA executive branch a decleration of war against global terrorist and their supporters. This gives the USA the 'right' to go to war against whoever it deems as a terrorist, a terrorist allie, or a terrorist supporter.
