Guy Andrew Hall at Rooks Rant has posted his views for why "I'm Still Not Anti-War". Snippet:

I have believed, and still believe, that invading Iraq was a requirement for the war on terror. Why? Because of our troops in Saudi Arabia. Their presence there to protect our interests in the region was the impetus for the creation of Al Qaeda in the first place. As long as Saddam was in power in Iraq, we were going to have troops in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Al Qaeda was going to have recruitment propaganda at their disposal. The only way to rectify this situation was by removing Saddam. It was (and still is) a fundamental requirement for the war on terrorism to be successful.

I disagree with Guy's most basic rationales, but he brings up good points for debate. Join the discussion HERE.
