Hi,
a final desperate grab by Pete and you to object to or ignore post-war results
No, it's the lying scumbags who got us into this mess that are now trying to justify the invasion after the fact by the glorious future they project for Iraq. And it's their ignorant (of history, of Islam, of how democracies come about) supporters that buy into this glorious fantasy. The claim that Iraq war 2 was justified because of the good it will do is, at best, premature and most likely will turn out to be as accurate as WMD.
However, since the result will not be clear for at least a few years, the only guidance is history. Thus, discussing this with those who either don't know or choose to ignore history is a waste of time. I'd recommend you educate yourself before getting into an argument, but that would be a waste, You either already have, and are putting partisanship before your knowledge, or you don't care to.
