POLITICS - Iraq, Three Years Later

The Baltimore Sun Op/Ed by G. Jefferson Price III, "Three years later, they hope you'll forget the truth" is another reminder of what President G.W. Bush did to launch the Iraq war. I have already posted much on this issue, but the last paragraphs of Price's article are worth quoting.

The message has not changed much since the shift from weapons of mass destruction. The president repeated it yesterday. "By helping Iraqis build a democracy," he repeated, "we will gain an ally in the war on terror. ... We will inspire reformers across the Middle East. ... We'll bring hope to a troubled region, and this will make America more secure in the long term."

If those had been the reasons given for going to war three years ago, we would not have invaded Iraq.
