"Bush's war with Iraq was freely chosen by America, not by Iraq. The Iraqis have been the recipients of an unprovoked attack by a much superpower."

There are those of us with the opinion that Iraq attacked a treaty ally, Kuwait, and the fighting was only stopped due to a cease-fire agreement. When Iraq refused to comply with the conditions of that cease-fire, even after repeated efforts over 12 years, the decision was made to resume combat, in order to remove a perceived threat ( the WMD development program).
