Or more aptly entering WWll, which people protested against.
It's just beyond your understanding, like so many things.

The cause is not the question. certainly the examples you gave are the right reasons to charge ahead in defiance of public outcry. I don't feel it necessary to explain why.
However Iraq doesn't quite fall into the same catagory. Sure, saddam is a bad guy but was he an immediate threat? Was there an immediate need to invade Iraq, killing tens of thousands of it's citizens. Knowing bin Laden was the culprit and knowing Iraq didn't fund him, why did we attack Iraq?
Certainly, we have a responsibility in Iraq now and can't just walk away but who put us in that dubious position and why is the issue. Under what pretenses were we sent there?
Although I try to respect all opinions, you're typifying the big problem in America. You're trying to define anothers agenda rather than discuss the facts and issuse at hand.
