[Peace-discuss] Everybody knows the South had WMDs.

[Chuck Minne]

I think there is a good chance that 300 years from now all the eminent US historians will be saying that the Iraq War was fought because of “weapons of mass destruction,” or to “free Iraq from Hussein’s grip,” or to “bring democracy to the Iraqis.”
   
  Now you can all tell me what you want, but when Lincoln says, "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery
” I cannot believe that that war was any more about slavery than it was to rid the South of weapons of mass destruction, or to free the Negro from Southerners’ grip, or to bring democracy to the Negroes. 
   
  How do you think the Iraq War will be described in 300 years? (At least in US history books.)
   
  And how about the Indian Wars – do we ever admit that they were just for us to steal their land? No, they were to save lives – I guess.
   
  Can you tell me of a war that was primarily fought for the benefit of the downtrodden?
