Riddle me this though.........don't you find it convenient to blame Reagan for this 3 decades later......while Syria KILLS with chemicals that came from IRAQ, which according to APB didn't exist..........even though the ENTIRE world thought they did, and the United Nations voted on it......

And this is why I usually don't bother trying to discuss things with you any more. Real hard to have an honest discussion with you. Please show me where I claimed Iraq did not have WMD. I believe you will find in past posts that I have stated that at one time Iraq did have them. We knew this cause Reagan/Bush I sold it to them. UN (I seem to recall you not liking them so much) certainly had a number of resolutions concerning Iraq prior to the war. At no time did the UN authorize an invation. That invation was a pre-emptive strike lead by the US and Britian. A number of other countries were also involved, but that certainly did not include the ENTIRE world or even anywhere close to that. My concerns with attacking Iraq at the time had to do with the fact that we needed to concentrate on Afganistan and make sure we did that one right. As you might remember, Afgans were harboring the terrorists who had actually attacked us. Bush II, to me, never made a good case for why we needed to be in Iraq.
Concerning the man of the year, see JCB's comments on that.
