No I don't think we went to war just to bring democracy to that part of the world, we went to war because there was a percieved threat whether that perception was correct or not. The opportunity for the Iraqi people to have democracy is a fortunate byproduct of that war, an opportunity that I think the average Iraqi is probably grateful for but afraid to truly take advantage of because of violent radicals who are now substituting their own tyrany for that of Saddam Hussein. Yes, it is possible that greed was involved in the decision to go to war but I don't think so because Bush, Cheney & the cabinet are not so foolish to put this nation at war for any personal gain other than to stop a potential attack by Saddam Hussein's government, something that government has a history of. Bush and his people may not be the smartest or the best of people but why is it so hard to believe they were acting with good intentions when we went to war, just as most of us did. Now that the law of unforseen circumstances has kicked in everyone wants to point figures and make silly accusations - why don't we finish what we started. One thing Americans have become to used to and expect all the time is instant gratification but in war there is seldom a quick resolution - let's act like grownups now and finish a job we were mostly OK with starting but don't want to finish because it wasn't over in five minutes (but would have been if the US were fighting anything but a clean war where we want to protect innocents as much as possible).
