I can't even respond to this sentence because it makes it makes no sense.

Our motives:

Weapons of mass destruction - none since 1991.

Terrorism - no evidence of saddams involvement in 9/11 and bin laden.

Freedom - what freedom in Iraq?

I find it hard to believe you care about Iraqis, Iranians or Kuwaitis when you dismiss hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq in the war.

Every reason given for going into the Iraq War was a lie. You are trying to justify a war that was fought under false pretenses. You can throw all the hay you want to distract from that, but the fact remains that there no weapons of mass destruction, the link between saddam and bin laden was never established, and the Iraqi people are not more free today.

Iraq was destroyed and it wasn't ISIS that did that.

The alleged assassination attempt on bush sr was in 1993. The US responded by firing tomahawks into Iraq. Are you saying that the Iraq war in 2003 was because of the assassination attempt?

Many countries around the world invade other countries. Should we be at war with Russia right now for invading Ukraine? Should we invade every country that did something wrong in the world, occupy it for 8 years, cause the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians, install our own puppet government, and demand their oil and other natural resources by "liberating" them and destroying their country?

You have a funny sense of justice.

It would be difficult to imagine that Hussein killed as many people as we did in Iraq. I'd like to see you try to add those numbers up.

* We suck for invading Iraq on false pretenses and using our weapons carelessly.
* ISIS sucks for engaging genocide. Also, there are plenty of ways to protest without wiping out other peoples.

These two statements are not mutually exclusive.

09:50 here. Exactly. ISIS is not justified at all, and we were not justified in Iraq. In my opinion, ISIS was worse, due to unprovoked genocide and their barbaric killing, but the US was not innocent.

Pissed off?

ISIS should all be dead. If the US military could isolate enough of them, I'd be totally in favor of using the neutron bomb developed during the 1980s -- kills the enemy while leaving infrastructure in place.
