Vengeance against people who weren't even involved. That should be really important to point out. The Iraqi people in government had absolutely nothing to do with the events of 9/11, and Iraq posed no realistic military threat to anyone. Claims that Iraq possessed nuclear and/or biological weapons were false.

My former business partner was a child in Iraq during the first Gulf War. He witnessed unspeakable horror as bombs fell in his neighborhood, killing his friends, their parents, and many of his own family members.

He and his mother ran through the night as bombs fell, screaming and crying.

Over nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
