how is that different from saying the US and ISIS have the same goals?
Both want to get rid of Bashar al Assad and his regime in Syria.
Both are enemies of Iran.
How so? I think the number of people killed during and in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion has been so much higher than the deaths caused by Saddam prior to the invasion.
i won't dispute that. Saying the west, like the US and Switzerland are the same thing is just as bad.
In what way was the war in Iraq not a failure?
Those who waged the war have said multiple times that regime change was not the goal, perhaps the means to reach their goal, but it wasn't a goal in itself. Is Iraq not worse off after Saddam? Of course it is, by all measures it is a lot worse. Is the world a safer place as a result of the Iraq war? of course not, on the contrary you've given ISIS a stronghold.

So true. Indignation is the socially acceptable cloak for bigotry.
I think you're missing the underlying point of the tragic news stories of the past few months while the caliphate has gone to dog shit.
It's OK, Hustini. We all make mistakes and we still love you.

Booya.
As the pony-tailed laydeez man with the bifocals sez, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
A necessary rant. This is as insidious in modern society as guns in America and Islamic terrorism on earth.

Just remember we have representative democracies and we are only as smart as the information we receive.
I remember standing at the main square in Copenhagen demonstrating against the iraq invasion in march 2003. Don't think that fact will keep the terrorist from targetting me

@swag, I hope you didn't ignore my question
Sorry...It's basically a hunch based on circumstantial evidence and a lot of extrapolation. In that sense I treat it as more of a faith than an evidence-based opinion, despite the arguments to the contrary.
We all need hypotheses though... just that most of them don't pan out to be factual in the end.
