The Misguided Rationale of Invading Iraq

It was misguided and reckless to think that a country with a leader embracing a high profiled religion(christianity), opposed to Iraq's religion, could go in and win the peace. It is far from wisdom, in the first place, to even think you can go into a country with a zealous to fight, extremist influenced religion and win the elements of society necessary for peace. Was it the will of God that the devoutly christian crusaders should have gone into and defeated the (Islamic)Ottoman empire? No, or of course they would have won but they did not, they were thoroughly driven back. France learned the hard way, unable to win the peace, and pulled out. Britain learned the hard way and pulled out. The Crusaders,France,Britain and us in Afghanistan had initial success in the mid-east but the point is the folly of trying to permanently establish government the way we want it. The U.S. is learning the hard way and will pull out but because of the prideful determination of this administration it will no doubt go on and on, many more civilians will probably die and many more U.S. boys. Ignorance is at the core of this invasion and the fruits of it continue on. For many this war is about spiritual pride and before it is too late our leaders need to give this one over to God for the sake of so many more to come.
