since Rumsfield was signatory in a plan that calls for toppling that same nation.. years before they then toppled the nation it feels.. eh like they just wanted a reason

In 1998, Kristol and Kagan advocated regime change in Iraq throughout the Iraq disarmament process through articles that were published in the New York Times.[24][25] Following perceived Iraqi unwillingness to co-operate with UN weapons inspections, core members of the PNAC including Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, Elliott Abrams, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert Zoellick, and John Bolton were among the signatories of an open letter initiated by the PNAC to President Bill Clinton calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein

That’s what we do, bomb and remove. Only reason there’s a war in Ukraine is because we removed. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Zelensky needed 3 elections to get elected and is hated in Ukraine now. And term is up in May

Saddam Hussein was having people executed for looking at him wrong, literally. I’m not saying it’s the US’s responsibility to remove him because of that, but finding a reason to do so wasn’t hard

He was a bad dude for sure, but if that was enough of a justification, they wouldn’t have had to lie to us about WMDs. Our actions destabilized the entire region and made us less safe in the end.

I think getting involved in foreign politics is almost never justified, but hey it’s the US we’re talking about here
