Missing the Point

I keep seeing this: people pointing to yesterday's "fall" of Saddam's power as a reason for being right to support the war. Let's get this straight. Prevailing in a pre-emptive invasion of a country that is not a direct threat to you, an invasion that was justified by lies and propaganda, an invasion of an obviously less powerful nation -- that's not a justification for doing it in the first place. Imagine, if you will, Psycho George decides that it's time to invade Luxembourg, because he has "proof" that they are planning on using secret weapons to attack us. The US bombs the crap out of Luxembourg and they fold easily, but no secret weapons are found. Citizens of Luxembourg (Luxemburgers?) riot in the streets because their general police force has been decimated and they are free to loot and commit crimes, while hailing US soldiers for freeing them from the tyranny of order. That would be pretty bad, wouldn't it? I think most people would consider it stupid, or at least delusional, to openly say that the pro-war against Luxembourg contingent was obviously right, because look! Mass destruction, chaos, and no proof that there was ever any immediate threat! Yay! Morons.
