Pro-Democracy Killing in Iraq

Jacob G. Hornberger / Future of Freedom Foundation:
During the recent Republican presidential debate, former Governor Mike Huckabee took Congressman Ron Paul to task for calling for a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Huckabee suggested that it was irrelevant whether the United States should have invaded Iraq. The point, he stated, was that because the invasion had "broken" Iraq, the United States had the obligation to remain and fix it. As Huckabee put it, "We bought it because we broke it." Huckabee said that his analysis was based on what his mother had taught him when he was a little boy: "If I picked something off the shelf and I broke it, I bought it." Huckabee is wrong on several counts, and his reasoning only goes to show how far American conservatives have fallen in terms of conscience and morality.
