WHY did we attack Iraq when they were proving no threat to us? Did we remove the wrong man?

It has become obvious to us all that Iraq needs a strong leader, and it looks more and more as if Saddam Hussein was the right man to keep these people under control.

The recent years have proved that the Americans and ourselves have destroyed the basic foundations of this country. We can do no more, so let's leave them to it and bring our armed forces home. Can nobody understand? We are not welcome.
