Im not sure how to respond to you... although I am sympathetic to your lack of understanding, given that you mentioned two "somewhat" common missconceptions. No, Congress never declared war as is required by the United States Constitution. Thus this war is unconstitutional. And ... No, Saddam was not a Muslim fundamentalist. In fact, he was a secular leader. In a region plagued by muslim fanatics he led one of the very few countries that was not infested with Al-Quaida. Thanks to this war, that is no longer true, and we are less safe. hmmm… Im not sure how to respond to you… although I am sympathetic to your lack of understanding, given that you mentioned two “somewhat” common missconceptions.

Thanks to this effort, we are less safe. I am ashamed of all republicans and democrats who voted to fund the war at its inception. Obviously, we should spare no expense in keeping our troops safe. *Side Note* - Congress has never voted to officially declare war as is specifically mandated in the U.S. Constitution, thus this wart is not only counter productive, but also unconstitutional.
