For your god's sake.
Whether the actions against Iraq have accomplished anything good or not, IT WAS NOT THE INTENTION. THE INTENTION WAS OIL.
Think. Why haven't they done anything about North Korea yet? Same kind of threat as with Iraq. The difference is that 1) if you attack, N. Korea may use them, while if you let them sit there, they 99.999999% likely won't; and 2) nothing to gain there.
I'm SURE there'll be an US/China war within the next 30-40 years. It's an emerging econ. power, after all.
......
Someone tell me why the death of a few thousand ppl on 9/11 is so much worse than the death of five to ten times as many people in the last five years due to US bombings, not even counting Iraq. I wonder how many innocents have died in Baghdad.
And yes they are religious fanatics and they walk around with Uzis and mistreat women and blah blah blah (if that is even true!), but is that a reason to BOMB them?
......
I wonder why so many cruise missiles go off course, and so many bombings hit civilian areas. Isn't the US army the place where the most advanced technology of the world goes to? Can't they, like, use a satellite or Predator or something to look at the target area and AIM their goddamn strikes? Can't they target their rockets with GPS and image recognition? HOW THE HELL can that 'accidentally' go wrong so many times?
Why did they firebomb Dresden in WW2?
......
How about looking at your own poverty/gun proliferation/road safety problems before going to war to set others right? I live in Belgium, Europe, and I can tell you that at least this country is about 100 times more democratic and civilized than The Great United States. We care about our poor, for example. Ghent is a medium sized city (a few hundred K inhabitants) and the worst acts of crime are a carjacking here and there, and if it happens twice in a row, it's big news. Gun-related crimes are unheard of. Real poverty usually only occurs among illegal immigrants, and we can't help that, can we? That is due to the fact that in Belgium, you get an unlimited unemployment compensation - guess what, we have a LOWER unemployment percentage than the USA. As for road safety... 1/100 of all people in the USA will die in a car accident. That's what you get for not wearing seat belts. One in three Americans visits a psychiatrist? Go figure. Competition Competition. Kill yourself from within. Be friends already. Come to Europe.

Even if you somehow thought the first atomic bomb was necessary, why the second?

Nothing is impossible if you believe in it enough.
