Okay so lets review. What evidence did they have on Saddam again? Nothing. Lets be honest here. The war in Iraq is about the oil.
Im not pro-war in iraqi and i do think that it was about the oil, but the point im making is the us military did not emply terror tactics.

The US claimed they targeted military targets BUT how many civilians died because of those actions??? Did that not incite terror within the population???
But they didnt intend on killing civialians to gain political power. And also if this is the case, why did most of the iraqi population welcome the overthrowing of sadam?

Who has the political power now in Iraq? It certainly isnt the Iraqi people.
AFAIK, they are working on handing power back to the iraqi people, but there is still a lot of lawlessness while a decent poilice force is beeing set up, so this is hampering the hand over of power.

Actually its entirly different, because during the iraqi war it was a declaired war, so all the people knew they may get involved. And where more prepared than anyone is for a suicide bombing (thats not to say that i dont think lose of civilian life in a way is a fair thing). But with suicide bombings its unexpected and tahts what causes the really terror, the uncertantly that anyone could be armed with explosives and willing to kill lots of people.
