I was speaking more broadly. There are shaky links between Iraq and 9/11; meetings between Mohamed Atta and Iraqi intelligence officers in Prague and claims of an Atta trip to Iraq before the terror attacks. However, there are much stronger sources that show that Saddam was intent on building chemical and nuclear weapons. Whatever he had was moved to Syria by Russian special forces in the week before the war.

Let's be honest. Ther were no WMDs, there was no link between Iraq and 9/11. 9/11 was a cover for the invasion. Some people may think it justified or even legal, but let's not pretend.
I'm sure those tortured and the realtives of those murdered would have a different view of US intervention to overthrow a democratic government in Chile. That sure showed those commies who support freedom.
The US ABM system is an act of defence.
The US invasion of Afghanistan is an act of defence.
The US invasion of Iraq is a reaction against 9/11, not about oil.
Can you find anything comparable to the crimes of Eastern "progressives" in the history of free governments and Western liberal democracies?
If you can, then you say that the United States is morally comparable to these countries.
Thirty years ago any sane individual would have concurred with these views.
Well for starters what about Fallujah - complete destruction of a city of 150,000 by US military and for what! This is the behaviour of a free government Been learning lessons from Grozny then??
And then just last week 5 innocent Afghan families were thoughtlessly killed by the bungling US military, or is that acceptable collateral damage because its an act of defence!?!?
In the past few years the US military has managed to kill thousands of non-americans. The current Chinese regime has a long way to go to catch up with that record.
P.S So how well is the US "surge" going right now in Iraq?!?!

It is the behaviour of a free government, just a not very nice one that ignores international law.

War is war. We didn't ask for it or start it.
I guess you are also one of these people who think that the mass murder of anybody with an IQ above 80 was a "Great Leap Forward"?
The current regime in China is no different to the ones in the past, they are communist criminals, merely using capitalism to bolster their military capability. There is no moral equivalence between China and the United States.
